Alright so just to be clear and get back on track because I've been looking for help for the last week or so .

I'm taking off the master cylinder resovior and putting old resovoir back on then bleeding the breaks correct?

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
Not going to really post anything useful in some peoples minds but....................




Stuff like this buy the parts from the dealership.


Case in point when I did my SFA swap................


New master cylinder since I was switching to 4 wheel disc brakes = $85 and was brand new and everything worked.


New PS pump from dealer = $140 and came with tank and pulley installed,remaned from advance without tank and pulley was $155 after core exchange.


Any engine sensor for Chryslers = use MOPAR only and any tech with 15+ years can tell you this one,costs a little more but in the long run a better value.

So you're saying, when it comes to this stuff just get dealer parts and let them do it? I'm a DIYer but at this point I'm ready to just call it quits and go to a dealer.

I will surely try that ASAP and let you know the results. I GREATLY appreciate this suggestion!!!!

An even quicker test is to simply unplug the d@mn thing. Light stays on, problem elsewhere, goes out, you FOUND it!

I've been unplugging the thing all week just to see if the light ever goes off. No luck.

No I'm saying buy the parts from the dealership(or online dealer for actual MOPAR parts).More power to you if you choose to install them yourself.

Unplugging it makes the light come on anyways. At least on mine. OP, I'm uploading a quick video now for you.

Okay so half of what I thought you said was what you actually said. Got it.

As promised here you go. Took forever to upload, so sorry for the delay.
You must be registered for see images



Edit: I didn't have anyone to hold the camera so you could see the reservoir pop off, but it takes a good tug.

Did swapping the reservoirs get the light to go off?

I can't even get the metal rod out off the old MC. I've thus given up and my break light continues to stare me in the face when I am driving.

Are you using a 12pt socket and trying to loosen it like a bolt, or are you trying to knock it out?
