Finally got the blinker gremlin figured out (fuse corroded still looked good but wasn't allowing juice to go to the flasher at all).
I replaced the L rear brake line and the rear of the wiring harness that the PO's bogs had snacked on. I've bled the brake lines and done what the Chiltons suggests as far as getting the ABS light to go out. It's not working. Now I also have the parking brake light on (the brake is not engaged, pedal all the way up and wheels rolling) and the wiper light is on and won't go out. I'm not sure where I chased those damned gremlins to now. Any help? Please!

Hook your toe under the parking brake and pull it toward you. See if that turns the sensor off. Thats how mine was. If so you might have to stretch the spring just a little.

Is your wiper fluid bottle full? Dont know if that triggers that light or not.

 

Physically pulled up on the parking brake. It is up as far as it will go, idiot light still on.
Wiper fluid is full and again idiot light still on.
Maybe they are trying to tell me that the idiot is in the drivers seat?

 

Have you adjusted the rear drums recently? If they get too far out of adjustment, it will turn those two lights on. Just run in the adjuster gear until you feel a very slight rub on the drums.

 

There is a yellow switch located on the brake proportioning valve. That is most likely your problem. It senses a fluid difference in between the front and rear. And since you replaced a line that could be the cause. Take off the switch and make sure it moves freely and reinstall. Replace if needed.

 

Thanks, just the trick I needed. I adjusted the left side in to get the drum back on and forgot to adjust it back out after the drum was on! Adjusted it out and lights went off!

 

Adjusting my drums solved my dumby light problem

 

Now on to the next post about the temp gage!
