Hello
The brake light on the dash will come on after driving for a while. It is not lit at car start up. Recently bled brakes to get this light out that was on all the time the ignition was on. Brake fluid level fine & brakes function properly.
Suspect malfunctioning brake line switch between front and back brakes.
Can this be fixed without replacing entire unit. I note that Moss sells a rebuild kit for this unit.
Anyone have any success fixing this issue?
Thanks

Bob -
The switch is just to tell if it is centered or not.
When you bled them you prolly pushed it to one side or another.
Unscrew it ,center the plunger and screw the "switch" back in.
It should go out
If you need to rebuild it. Then we'll discuss it
 
If there is brake fluid in the center then you will need new seals
 
Does your orange oil pressure warning light come on before you start the engine..when the ignition key is turned only as far as the "ON" position ?
