Brake Booster & ABS/TCS lights
#11
Yeah! Finally done with it. Brakes feel better than ever. Scanner worked to get the air out. I was able to take the switch out and reset it. It has a racheting mechanism inside that adjusts after install and needs readjusted with a new booster. Of course a new switch would work too.
Someone else wrote this explanation of the switch reset, may help someone else: " Pull the switch out and take apart cover of main ratchet assembly. Reset the ratchet by twisting 90 degree and slide the black internal slide to max extension reward and reassemble. Remove the green electrical switch portion by turning 45 degrees and unplug the wire, inside of switch end of the plug is a small white plastic flat connected to switch arm.Catch the small slide with a small sharp point (has a small square in it for this purpose) and pull fully to rear (blade end) of the switch and release. This should allow the activation arm to fully pop out to max length, reassemble to ratchet assembly, install while pressing the brake pedal in and away from the switch. Release the brake lever and it will ratchet back to the to correct length."
Thanks again for your help.

Brake light switch. Looks like it isn't sitting properly.
