Brake light on Dash
Brake light on Dash
Hey guys, I've been pretty busy lately trying to find a job because I got let go from my last job. Now that I am working again I am trying to get caught up again. So now I need to get CO state emissions done on my 92 UrS4 and they won't check my car with my brake light on. I know I need to replace my brake bomb still and have a replacement. I found what looks like a good pic of where it's located:

So the questions I have is:
1) How difficult is it to really get to?
2) How difficult is it to swap out to a replacement?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

It's not a fun job, as it's dirty and cramped in that area.
Just curious, are you sure that the light isn't on because you're low on fluid? This one:

Or is it the brake pad light?

I was thinking of pulling the bulb if that's faster to get to and then get under the car when it's above freezing out. How difficult was it to pull the cluster out?

Or just unplug the pressure switch on the booster.

All right Austin, you have my curiosity peeked... What pressure switch on the booster (Pics if any?) and will that get my brake light to not turn on during my test?

Interesting, I'll give it a shot and see if it clears the brake light tomorrow or Monday.

I attempted that pressure switch disconnect first. It worked in my 5000 but not the 200. May be different issues.
Cluster isn't difficult but there is an "order" to disconnecting the airbag and you should NEVER turn the key on when it's disconnected or you get the airbag light which I hear from Aktapod is a pain to erase using only special equipment.
Try the switch first. It's behind the brake master cylinder reservoir almost right on the firewall. So between the firewall and MC reservoir. Two electical spade connectors. Hopefully that's the one Yoda is referring to.

Thank you guys for the help...
So yesterday I topped off my fluids and disconnected the switch that Austin pointed out. When I disconnected the switch I noticed that the terminal was a little blue (some corrosion from being old) and then plugged it back in. I now have no dash lights that are on anymore.
Thank you guys for the help!
