Dual brake warning light

Post by DMiller »

Hello,
I have a 71 F250 with power drum brakes. My dash brake light remains on all the time. After cruising around this awesome forum, I have checked a couple of things out. No leaks anywhere, not low on fluid, and I have bled the brakes all around.
I bled starting with the back pass. side, back drivers side,front pass, then drivers side. No air was evident before I bled, but I thought I would just be sure. The truck stops fine, but I would really like to get the warning light working properly.
Can someone offer any ideas?
thanks,
Don Miller

The valve in the distribution block just needs to be recentered. It likely went off-center during a previous brake job and was just never recentered.

Thanks for the thread link. After repeated bleeding(6-7 times) the light went out. The trick is not giving up, although my wife( pedal person) almost did!
Thanks again.
