[s-cars] Da bomb! Brake bomb, that is...

[chris chambers]

Eric,

I've been chasing the same "brake light stays on problem" as you.
What I recently learned is that there is a check valve inside the
brake bomb that is known to fail, even new they failed.

When the check valve fails the light will stay on, but the bomb
will pass the pump test with flying colors.
