I apologize in advance for yelling, but......


TRYING TO FIX BRAKE FLUID LEAKS FROM THE WARNING SWITCH BY RESEALING JUST THE SWITCH DOESN'T FIX THE ACTUAL PROBLEM!!!

LOOK AT ART'S PICTURE AND YOU WILL SEE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY LEAKING A O-RING(S) AND/OR A DAMAGED BORE INSIDE THE HOUSING FOR THE O-RINGS!!!!

THE SEAL FOR THE WARNING SWITCH ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HOLD BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE, JUST DIRT AND MOISTURE FROM GETTING IN!!!

Unfortunately, no one is making quality replacements for the junctions and even the crappy ones aren't available either.

There are still options:

1. Reseal your junction as the O-rings are still available
2. Find a good used junction
3. Install a later junction w/o a warning switch and a brake fluid level sensor
4. Modify your junction to eliminate internal parts and add fluid level sensor
