stock 86 t type but master cylinder has been converted to vacuum brakes.
My brake warning light has not worked since I bought the car. I'm getting 12 volts to the lamp in the instument panel with the ignition in the "run" detent, but its not getting a ground from any of the 4 switches that activate the light. I am completing a closed circuit to the lamp whenever I:
1. activate the e brake
2. grounding the pressure switch on the combination valve
3. turning the ignition to the "lamp test"
4. The other switch that activates the lamp, according to my 87 buick service manual is a switch from the brake master cylinder, but the car has been converted to vacuum brakes, so that switch is out of the loop.
But, still not getting the lamp to come on. (yes the lamp is good)
So ,I'm not getting a ground to chassis/body to complete the circuit for the lamp to light. Is there a common ground that all 4 switches tie into under the dash somewhere? The schematic in my manual just shows them going to ground at each switch. I can't find any unhooked or broken wires under the dash. Anybody have any ideas?
