brake master cylinder float issue?
ok so my new hilux surf.. brake light on the dash comes on.. not low on fluid but when i un-plug the sensor light goes off.. this master looks the same as my 4runner but has a float in the top not the sensor thats on my canadian runers..
does anyone know what truck this is off?? can i clean the float?? just leave it unplugged??
i know this is it cause the light goes off but will go back on when its unplugged but i pull the ebrake.
heres a bad pics its in the upper

try removing the screen in there and see if that helps
my 91 PU did the same thing when I first got it; it drove me nuts. the fluid was at perfect level and the parking-brake was releases, and the light was still on. I thought maybe the float was getting cought on that screen for some reason, so I removed it and havn't had problems since.
just make sure you don't put sand into yer brak fluid resevour later on since you wont have the filter there N E more
so is it hard to find parts for that thing in the states?
