I've had insulation on the cable _to_ the sensor sockets start to fall apart,
at the wheel end. You just

Does the owner's manual say anything about the light? I've got bad insulation

Which lamp? Aren't there two? One, labeled "BRAKE" is hooked to the
parking brake pedal, and the fluid level sensors. The other is hooked to
the brake pads. I'm guessing it's a pa
Vehicle is my '79 300SD.
Recently, when starting the car, the dashboard brake warning light will
