Thanks.

I meant: I solved the problems, so no more "brake failure" light, spongy pedal, or pedal height low. I did what you recommended and bench bled the brake master cylinder. My problems resolved after doing that and bleeding the brakes. Therefore, I believe that NOT bleeding the master cylinder caused all of these problems.

Just to be clear, does the "brake failure" switch ONLY measure differences between the two brake cylinders?

As to your link, do you mean I always need to remove and reinstall the switch after bleeding as a cautionary measure?

Thanks again for all your (all of you) help!!!!!!!
