Re: Emergency brake light
Don't know where the switch specifically is on the park brake:
Mind you I don't have a Honda at this time to verify the exact measuring
system in it, but most use a float system. Some times the float gets stuck
down and tapping on the reservoir helps; but If you had to leave the sys
unplugged I would.
First check the reservoir level and report back; until we know the answer to
that question all else doesn't make a difference. IE if the fluid is low,
why? a leak or warn parts?
