Question WORKING ON 65 MARLIN REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER /BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NOW HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS PUT OLD SWITCH BACK IN THAT WAS WORKING NOW IT'S NOT WORKING/ALSO NO TURN SINGALS NOW PLEASE HELP THIS IS MY BOSSES CAR THANKS PAUL
Answer Do you have power at the switch? If not, check the fuse and wiring.
Remove the switch, cover the hole with a cloth and have someone slowly apply the brakes. Does fluid come out under pressure?
If not, there's your problem.
Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing it?
