Re: [Amc-list] Brake Dummy Light

Depends
Flashing liht underneath is for parking brake.
One in cluster is controlled by the switch in the block on the firewall under the heater motor.
It can be reset, it trips when pressure drops on one side of the brake system.
I can honestly say I tripped mine years ago and have never felt the urge to reset it. I simply unplugged the wire.
No harm if the brakes are good and you know they are not leaking.

Be careful with air shocks on the Ameircan body. More than a light boost to level it will eventually cause the bayonet end to punch up through the trunkfloor. The metal in that area was not designed to carry weight.
