Subject:      Brake warning light
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Volks,


The brake warning light [on the dash over your left knee] stays on when my 84
Westy is cranked.  Two things turn this light on.  One is the park brake
being deployed and the other is a brake system sensor that is powered by
alternator current only.


My park brake switch is working OK.  What I need to know is:


       Where is the brake system sensor?


       How do I test this thing to see if I really have a brake problem?


       Is there something in the system that I can reset to make the light go
out?


       What is usually wrong if the sensor is really reporting a problem?


My brakes seem to stop just fine--I really need some help on this one.


Thanks in advance,


John Houser, Jr.
Perry, GA
