Okay, I read the Faq's but still can't quite understand it. I replaced both front calipers and bleed the system multiple times. I took the switch out of the brake junction block for the warning light. The top piece came off and there was a spring with a little plunger on it. I took those out, then stepped on the brakes, and then put it all back together adn still a warning light on. Was I suppossed to take out the plastic piece under the plunger as well? Not quite sure how to procede...

The light mainly stays on, but sometimes it goes off when I step on the brakes, and sometimes it's off but then goes on when I step on the brakes.

Any Ideas? I need to figure it out to pass inspecton!!!

I know there is an air hammer trick to use on the junction block on the 240 that took care of this problem for me on a 240; is there a similiar trick for the 740?
