Hi all, I still very clearly remember Jim talking about how both his brake sensor switches failed at the same time, leaving him with no brake lights and no warning light to tell him about it. Well, the same just happened to me! As we were driving along, the guy behind me at the intersection yelled out "HEY! YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK". I didn't know how to reply so I said "THANK YOU!". I had noticed the warning light coming on a month or so ago, but it went out the next time I used it, so I assumed (hoped) it was a glitch. But I guess the second switch failed shortly after the first. So that means I have to go underneath again to replace that one thing I didn't replace when I replaced the brake system last year! Just to double check - since these are on the master cylinder, I assume I have to bleed the entire system again, right? Cheers, -Nico 1971 Yellow Fasty, with a nearly-but-not-quite-new-enough brake system. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
