I have an 84... the pressure switches on the MC were the cause of my problems.
Don't get the cheap ones.  I've changed these about 3 times in the past 5 years, and finally went with only the ATE brand.
2 prong through 1986.  (Power assist) with provision for 2 switches. ** Models thru 1986 use 113 945 515H, 2 Pole Brake Light Switch** ** Models 87-89 use 113 945 515G, 3 Pole Brake Light Switch**


Best price I've found for the ATE brand. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/porsche-brake-light-switch-ate-113945515h


FCP also provides a FREE Lifetime Guarantee on ALL Parts, even wear out items!


Switches can be replaced without removal of the MC.


Jack

My brake warning light is on.  Everything seems OK so I want to see if the switches  on the master cylinder are bad, is there a way to test them or should I just replace them?


Thanks,
Bryan
