Re: Lights in the back of speedometers

["Myron Ware" <cmw@domain.elided>]

Pete (and Tom H.),
  My Brake Failure light did this the first time I'd hooked the 
battery up after it's resto.  On mine, there was a threaded plug 
in the center of the proportioning valve that connected to the 
Brake Failure light.  After getting the brakes right, I took the 
plug out to allow the contacts to re-center themselves and 
screwed it back in.  No more errant light.  The light *does* 
come on when I turn the key far enough to start the engine, so I 
know the unit is functioning properly.
HTH,
Myron
