Volks,
The brake warning light [on the dash over your left knee] stays on when my 84
Westy is cranked. Two things turn this light on. One is the park brake
being deployed and the other is a brake system sensor that is powered by
alternator current only.
My park brake switch is working OK. What I need to know is:
Where is the brake system sensor?
How do I test this thing to see if I really have a brake problem?
Is there something in the system that I can reset to make the light go
out?
What is usually wrong if the sensor is really reporting a problem?
My brakes seem to stop just fine--I really need some help on this one.
Thanks in advance,
John Houser, Jr.
