My brake light on the dash comes stays on sometimes when I release the handbrake... Is there a way to just disconnect this altogether? Or perhaps fix it? I just got my 85 GS last week, loving it so far.

 

You might also check the Brake fluid level, it has a "low fluid" sensor in the resavoir.

****, go to regular forum, I can't post pic's here.

 

Umm It still does it... faulty switch somewhere?

 

does your pedal go to the floor? Or do you need to pump the brakes to stop the car?



the wiring diargam shows 3 switches that turn on the light, one in the resavoir, one at the e-brake handle

and one in the ignition switch. I guess the first thing to do is to pull the e-brake handle cover and look for

bare wire near the switch that could be shorting to the handle or body.

I have that problem all I have to do is turn the key back a little and it goes off... you might try that

 

I have had that similar problem, but it was always because my brake fluid level was low. I'd fill it back up and it'd take a few trips to get it to turn off...she's 20years old, it takes her a while to figure things out i guess



Yanking on the e-brake a few times (sitting still) has made it go off too.

 

I had the same problem, it was the wire mounted next to the e-brake itself.

 

My ebrake doesn't work.



I've checked the line right at the handle and it's very tight.



So what gives?

 

did you try turning the key back a little like I said
