Re: [AMC-List] brake proportioning valve issue

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Resetting the switch combination valve (put a catch tray under it and it 
would help to look at the exploded view from the TSM) should do the trick 
as long as you don't have a hydraulic problem. If you can't find a leak and 
the light comes back on, chances are the master cylinder is bad (which 
could also be why the rear brakes lock up before the fronts).
