so my brake failure light came on the other day. and i UTSFE* and found that i would have to rebleed the brakes, and/or take the switch out and reset it, and/or replace the master cylinder. now i really enjoy working on my brick, but with work and all, i really didn't want to spend my whole day off troubleshooting this issue, so i did what any renaissance man would do. i hit the bastard with a hammer. it worked! 3 solid whacks with a hammer against the junction block, start the White Devil, and no more brake failure light! now, i only took this approach to this issue b/c i have a new junction block installed a few weeks ago, and i wouldn't recommend this if you were working on a 20 year old block(but i like to err on the conservative side.)
