Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper

Hey Mr. K., Got an E-Mail this morning saying that the Brake Light Switch will be arriving on Monday! Am hoping against hope that it (they) will solve the problem.

Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper

Hey Mr. K., doubt that THAT is the case. Pedal is rock solid at about one inch of movement. If there was air in the system, it would be soft and squishy compared.

Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper

Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper

YES. 1" of Brake Pedal travel will skid all four wheels. Reservoir is full.

This is what happens. AND the Turn Signals work, so the Wiring is good.

Right. That's what blew the Fuse. Should have...
