That's right but not for 83.5 as the brake fluid level switch was added to the fluid reservoir starting in 1985 models. Before that the light was connected to the dual pressure switches on the master cylinder and was meant to detect when one side of the cylinder had lost pressure compared to the other. That pressure feature was removed when the fluid level switch was added but he has it in his 83.5.
