Brake Problem ... Resolved 200

Glad to hear the brakes work. But be advised that there is *no manual reset* to the warning switch. It should be self-centering if the primary and secondary system pressures are equal when braking.

Maybe in the course of the problem the internals got stuck at one extreme.
If you are sure the bleeding job went OK, just drive it for a while and see if it centers itself. And try really tromping on the pedal and holding it down a few times (while parked would be good).
