Sierra Brake Fluid switch
Hi all,
Yet another question here...on a Sierra (Later version, 5dr 1600 Pinto) the brake fluid resevoir cap has three wires going to it. I used the cap on
my locost, to keep the brake fluid warning light. Are the three connections Power, Light and Switch, or Power, Light and Earth? Can't see it
would need an earth at the switch.
Any help welcomed.

according to the haynes manual in front of me for an 87-89 sierra the 'low brake fluid sensor' goes to:
brown -earth
brown/yellow - instrument cluster
brown/green - handbrake warning switch
does this make sense to anyone?
beware, I've got yellow skin

Ned, thanks a bucket load. Makes sense to me. It works the opposite way than what I though. Rather than power coming to the sensor, then to the
switches, it's the opposite. The power goes to warning light first, then the sensor. So when senor is activated it earths and circuit is
completed and light comes on. Obviously it earths with the push button test switch too.
Thanks again.
Willie - away to wire his brake fluid thingy
