I blew the brake line going from the prop valve to the rear axle over the weekend. I replaced the line and bled the brakes but the warning light on the dash is still lit. Guesses as to why? Brakes functioning just fine. 2000 XJ non-ABS.

The shuttle is still out of place, possibly a small amount of air trapped inside the proportioning valve where the brake light warning switch is located.

pump the pedal 5 times and press HARD. You should feel it pop a little and the light should go out.

Wow, thanks so much. That was the easiest fix ever. Big smile on my face when I heard the pop. Great tip.atriot:
