I just had my master cyc. and my booster replaced and had good brakes for about a mounth then my brake light comes on again@###$##.Took it back to the shop and come to find out the master cyc.was bad from the factory so they orded a Bendix unit and it won't fit the booster so they had to get a Bendix booster all of this is costing me 0 money because he stands behind his work for 90 days parts AND labor.I should get it back tomrrow morning.Great it's going to be 80 and the t tops are comming off.Just wanted to share and vent I feel better now.At least they let me get under the car and clean it.I'm going to check for the tank sticker.I know it's gotta be there because it's all original.

Hope you have good luck with the brakes,they can be a real P.I.T.A..the best way to find the sticker ,if it is there,is just lightly reach up on top of the tank,and feel if its there,don't yank on it.then get a mirror on a stick,and a flashlight,and see if you can see it.if it is there ,and in decent shape,the best way to get at it is to drop the tank,not a fun job ,but the only way I've heard to get to it

I had problems with my brake light coming on at the end of the last two seasons. Replaced the master cylinder, the proportional valve, front calipers and rear rotors.
Drove it on a nice day in January and the brakes feel the best ever. Hope they stay that way now.
