Pump the brakes with the car off, then with your foot hard on the brake pedal, start the car, the brake pedal should immediately sink, if not replace the brake bomb (about 55.00, email for details if need be) if it does sink replace the switches (31.00 or so for the pair) Also if you find the accumulator defectice, replace the ps filter while you are there


Did the test as decribed above, and the brake pedal sank immidiately.
I have meassured both swicthes and they both are "on" (have connection). The "brake light" goes out when the lover switch is diconnected. If this is how the swich should be I have no idear but it looks like, it is the lower switch which are not working proberly. I will try shifting the switch or both.

Best Regards
Jes Olsen
