Hi Jim,

Did it go out before you changed it?

It is meant to come on dim to prove it works when the ignition is switched on, then go out when the engine starts. If it stays on bright, then the brake PDWA needs to be reset as the valve has been displaced.

connection because looking at the wiring diagram they seem to be connected am I right or wrong.
