Starting in 85 models there is no longer any electrical connection
between the two brake pressure switches and the warning light on the
dash. When they added the float switch to the brake fluid cap for a
fluid level warning they deleted the pressure switch warning. The
pressure switches changed too, with the later switches only having 2
connections instead of 3.
