I like this.
If the sensor cylinder is off center, this could straighten it up.

I'd press brake pedal very slowly and watch for light to go off.
If you keep pressing, you conceivably could shove the piston over to the other side and have the light come on again.

Can't quite tell from your original post whether you're still leaking fluid or not. If still leaking after this process, I think you'll need to replace the junction box.

If leaking now and you succeed in recentering the piston, you might just solve the leak.

Please do let us know how this works out.
As you can see we're pretty interested.

New Brake failure light stays on; replaced what I thought was a bad caliper... Light is still on. Could collapsing brake lines be culprit? [200]
