There is a small switch mounted in the equalizer block. Its plastic and is
scewed into the block.If the switch is not bad you back it out,hit the brakes
so the block centers again,then screw the switch back in,if its bad replace
it,but center the block first,or the light will keep lighting..That was my
first repair on my 82 244 DL back in 1992.Have fun...Chuck..VCOA #11095
