05tronzx3 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 hey guys, im new to this forum but have been around cars forever. i have a '77 datsun 280z and when i started it up last spring i realized the ebrake light would stay on even when the brake was off, was just wondering if there was any quick fix for this thing. thanks sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Your ebrake light will come on if the brake is on or the switch is defective - BUT - the light will also come on if there is an imbalance in the braking system due to air in the brake lines, a leaky wheel cylinder, etc. It's time to pull the drums in the rear and look for leaks plus purging the lines and refreshing the brake fluid.

woldson Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Dose the 77 have the sensor on the resavouir? Low fuild level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 No - the 1977 280Z did not come equipped with a fluid level warning sensor on the master cylinder reservoir. I believe that was first included on the 280ZX. If you buy an aftermarket master cylinder for the car it will have those senors in the reservoir covers but there is nothing on the car to plug them into.
