H e l p!!!!!!
Hey the folks and C3 gurus....
Just changed out a set of squealing rear brake pads and that cured the squeak and squal but now my brake light is on and after several test drives and breaking it will not go off?????
All help, tech advice etc is most certainly needed..
Thanks all!!!!!

Use this tool to hold the proportioning valve in a centered position. Then bleed the brakes.It can be purchased on the net for about $10.

I thought I read somewhere of a procedure that required braking hard and holding it as far as it travels to the floor??????
In any case I broke no lines and there were no caliper leaks..

It sounds like you have air in the brake system. The system needs to be bled by someone who knows how to work on the Corvette brake system. Do not attempt if you are not mechanically inclined. Just my opinion.

You can do it with or without the engine running. You will feel a little click through the brake pedal when it resets.
