Default Brake light dash warning
I have a 1974 corvette and the brake warning light is on in the dash. What do I need to do to fix this problem. I have replaced the master cylinder, bled the lines. Anyone have a suggestion?

Did you put the ebrake down? Is the ebrake switch functioning? You should verify whether it's the parking brake or the prop valve switch causing it...

just step on the brake pedal real fast and hard and it'll go away.
