1977 brake light
I have a 1977 corvette and my brake light turned on yesterday. I suspect that is the master cylinder leaking pressure because I can feel it on my brake pedal... Is there any troubleshooting to check what's going on? If I have to replace the master cylinder, is this easy to do?
Please if someone have any tips, let me know...
Thanks,
Sandro.

Re: 1977 brake light (sandro.ramos)
The switch on the proportioning valve activates the brake light if you have a fluid loss. Check for any signs of brake fluid on your lines, hoses, calipers, etc. Once you locate and repair the leak, bleed the brakes in this order: LR, RR, RF, LF and you should be good to go. There is also a remote possibility your proportioning valve is bad, but try the other stuff first. :cheers:
