85 and newer only have a float switch in the fluid reservoir cap that
lights the light if the brake fluid drops too far.


(80-84 don't have a brake fluid level warning but are supposed to turn
on the light if one fluid circuit has pressure and the other doesn't. I
doubt too many of these work right anymore if they ever did)
