Guys,
I have a Bright 6 which includes the brake fluid warning lamp, so do I need a seperate Brake warning lamp switch aswell for SVA?
thanks,
Chris.

You need a float switch on your cylinder resevoir and a handbrake switch or seperate test switch.
Basically when you pull the handbrake up or press a test switch you are testing that the brake warning circuit is working.

I have a brake fluid float switch on the reservoir, but what I was meaning was do I need seperate switches for both the h/brake and the fluid warning or can they be conbined into 1 warning lamp ?
thanks,
Chris

Combined into one will do it ( you don't actually need a handbrake warning light for SVA)

you don't test the circuit.

Only the lamp.

the sva level switches are make contacts
sow you never cant test the circuit.
To test the circuit you would need a make and brake circuit in that swithc.

the circuit is tested when he opens the bottle and checks if the light begans to light up..

Tks

a small hijack..

what would they do if the symbol isn't on the lamp but aside it???

Tks

wot they say. ^^^

see haynes sierra wiring diagram on how this is done.

if you still want a hand brake test switch with buil in lamp, see my lamps for sale post.

Cheers fellas

bigrich has posted that before and if it is sierra cap then I dispute the lead designations as mine is different (pretty sure I have posted this); buzz the cap with a dvm to see who is right
