A buddy has suggested to me that perhaps the brake warning light switch (plastic switch with two prong connector that screws into the distribution block) may be supposed to have a spring internal to the switch which would push the plunger back down (when the shuttle is centered as it should be) rather than relying on gravity alone to let the plunger drop back down. If yes, all the switches I have are bad (no spring action but plunger free), this might explain the unusual amount of difficulty I have had trying to get the warning light to stay out after centering the valve. Can anyone comment?

Thanks,

Bob

Yep, they sure are. I bought a new one for the block in Isabel, but the other two switches I had from two other blocks I was able to repair. I yanked out the plungers. With some WD-40 and a sheet rock screw I was able to free the springs up in them, put the plungers back in and voila! Fixed and working.
