[Amc-list] Brake warning light, Park brake warning light, Brake lights

[Don Johnson <donjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

I think you're mixing up your lights.

The system I'm familiar with is on a 1970 however I think the 73 is the same also.
There is a brake warning light, (same one as the park brake light on the dash)- it is illuminated by a switch in the brake lines and activated by a difference in pressure between the front and rear systems. It signals brake system failure.

There is a Park brake warning light which illuminates whenever the park brake is engaged. Again, it is the same light on the dash that warns of brake system failure.

There are brake lights which are activated by a switch on the brake pedal and illuminate the lights on the rear of the car.
Hope that helps.
Don




Congratulations of the road trip Joe.  I know how it feels to take that 
first ride, especially when the stares start.  The brake warninig light can 
be adjusted under the dash, there is a switch mounted on the brake pedal 
assem (if it's the same as my '70).  Mine is doing the same thing after 
having to brake hard.  If I'm mistaken on this please someone straighten me 
out, thanks.  The squeak/creak is mine also.  It helped when I replaced the 
spring seats, but I still have some creak.  I've used a silicone spray the 
night before taking it to show that's helped.  Sorry, can't help with the 
third, unless maybe the ground isn't making good contact.  Good luck and 
hope this helped a little.
