I have a 93 YJ with a dana 60 rear on it. A couple months ago I blew out the hard-line brake line going to the rear. As soon as that happened, the e-brake light on the dash came. Over the weekend I fixed the line, and replaced the pistons on the drums. I was able to bleed the brakes just fine, and everything is good with them too. But the e-brake light is still on, and I can't figure out why. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Mike
The e-brake light doubles as a warning light when you brake pressure is low, indicating a leak. It should turn off after you repair and bleed the brakes. If it doesn't reset after turning off the ignition, disconnect the battery to reset the computer.
If that doesn't work, trying bleeding your brakes again.
I'll mess with them a little more and see what happens. I know there is no air in the line, and that the replaced section is not leaking. With the battery, the jeep sat with a completely dead battery since then. I replaced the battery and fixed the brakes all this weekend.
I was reading that it could also be the proportioning valve? From my understanding, since I lost all brake pressure on the rear of my jeep. I'll have to replace or re-center the spool in the proportioning valve. Does this have any value to my situation?
Well, after two stomps on the pedal the light turned off. Thanks guys
