Brakes - Idiot Light - Again?
A few weeks ago I hopped into the car and my brake pedal went to the wood panel, the brake light lit up as well. Searched for the culprite and saw no brake fluid leaks, and assumed the master cylinder was gone. I figured it's time to upgrade and install a 19mm master cylinder, ss brake lines, and the ATE Blue brake fluid . I've completed the install and the bleeding process. For the bleeding I bought a hand pump, bench bled the master cyclinder, flushed all the lines with Dot 4, and bled with the ATE fluid. In fact I couldn't be happier with the results, except my brake idiot light is still on? What am I missing out on here? My only thought is that maybe there is an air pocket around the brake pressure sensor on the m/c? Should I crack the sensor loose and have the wife pump the brakes? I don't want to have to re-bleed the system again, we are running out of summer!!
Thanks Tom |

On the master cylinder, you have to reset the switch (assuming everything else is OK). I think you just push it in and it resets the switch.
