Lets play, name that wire!

[sled_dog]

Ok so whats this wire do? Seems to go to the front prop. valve. I want to get rid of the whole wiring harness that goes to the front of the K5 since I no longer need it but this wire is part of that setup.

brake warning light? If ya lose brake pressure

I believe that is the wire that activates the brake warning light in the dash when you have brake problems.

Yep,that the warning light,The piston in the proportioning valve has to be centered or the light will come on.....

 

[dyeager535]

Yep, it's the brake warning switch that comes off of the combination valve. Ground it, with the key on, and the brake light should come on.

didn't even know there was a break light, well since the dash will likely be going as well I don't feel bad getting rid of that.
