Hand brake warning light

arcturus · May 3rd, 2017, 14:59

The hand brake warning light on my 69- 144. stays on. Is this light the same one as the brake equalizing warning light?

Yes, they are the same light!

Could mean master cylinder

Just an observation but shouldn't MS be MC for Master Cylinder?

Hi Paul, how is the part called in english where the brakelines from both circuits meet together to give the switch a chance to do his job? It is not a divider, I don't rmember the name.
Brake line junction block?
regards, Kay

Kay - that is one of the troubles with the English language; several different words can mean exactly the same item. The component referred-to is that thing bolted to an inner wing, usually somewhere near the servo. It is about the size of a 20 cigarettes packet and has several hydraulic lines going into it: the other part, which others have said to remove then clean up and re-fit, is what the parts lists call a "contact", #679938-1. The block they all screw into they call a "warning valve", #680635-0. In my ignorance (perhaps) I usually call it a brake splitter, which is obviously wrong but when one points at it all becomes clear!
No wonder English is the most difficult language to teach a foreigner!

Thank you Paul, to communicate in english is easy to a foreigner in relation to other languages.
Languages in asia are nearly impossible to me, they are totally strange.

Most of problems in english to germans are:
Simple Past, Past Progressive, Past Perfect, Past Perfect Progressive, Present Perfect Present Perfect Progressive

aaaaaaargh, I never understood and will never........

Arcturs had removed the contact form the "warning valve" or "brake line junction block" I think so.
