Mr. Mod Man

I just replaced the Powermaster III pump and brakes work good but the light still flashes sometimes on the dash and the brake lights are stuck on but if you pull the brake petal out it clicks and turns off.  Do I need a new switch or is something out of adjustment?

I know I have seen a thread on this problem but I cant find it right now.

Need to adjust the switch. There is a little metal tab on the bottom of it, push the pedal all the way down and pull the tab down. Slowly let up on the pedal and release the metal tab. Do it a little bit at a time(dont let the pedal all the way up) so the metal insert stays wher it is supposed to. If it comes loose, you have to take the switch out, take it apart, and fix it, which is no fun at all.

Thanks, I fixed it. It was just a broken switch. $15
