        Colin:

        I second the advice of others. Use an awl or small screw driver
inserted in the switch hole. Much simpler and more reliable than using
the brake bleeding technique.

Hi Gang.I just bled the brakes and my brake warning light is glowing
brightly with the ignition on, but NO oil light. If I pull the wire off
the PDWA, the oil light glows dimly with no brake warning light. Bentley
tells me the PDWA shuttle has shifted, and to re-center it I have to
open the nipple on the circuit opposite that to which the shuttle has
shifted. Great. How do I know which way they little ^%$@#*shifted? I've
just plugged this stupid thing in for the first time, so my first
reaction is to unplug it and call it done, but I guess it's worth trying
to correct. Suggestions? Can I pull the switch off the PDWA and center
the shuttle manually, or is that chamber now full of brake fluid that
will promptly leak all over my nice clean engine compartment?
Thanks in advance. colinthom@shaw.ca
