[s-cars] A Different Brake Light Question

[Peter Schulz]

Jerry:

I used a turkey baster and sucked most of the fluid out of the 
hydraulic reservoir, then removed the screen, sprayed it with brake 
cleaner and dried it before re installing with new pentosin.

The light now goes off almost immediately.
In retrospect, I should have removed and cleaned the banjo bolt 
screen on the high pressure hose to the bomb and cleaned that too...
