Have you made sure the piston in the brake differential pressure sensor is centered? That's what was keeping my brake light on. Ted Stevens 74 TR6

How's your oil pressure? If I recall correctly, that red light is on if PDWA is off-center OR if your oil sensor is reporting low oil pressure. I would expect the light to be ON continuously if it we

Tom, I can't agree 100% with that -- there are a few variables that have to be considered. A lot of it has to do with your driving style, and how sensitive you are to changes in your car. Keep in min

Tom, I don't think there is any question about that. In the financial condition they were in, they needed to save every penny. But, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler all did and still do the same th

You are correct. But I have seen some cars where the owner has disconnected the lamp sending unit in order to install the guage fitting. I did both by some creative plumbing on the block. One added

No, just that they cut corners to save money too. An example of that is the use of the brake lights for the hazard flasher on some of the '60s cars (they may still do). The hazard flasher wouldn't wo

I'm pretty sure the change to this column and its related switches was actually a cost cutting, or "commonising" move on the part of BL, as the column is essentially that of the TR7. Otherwise, the S
