[Mgs] Brake pressure balance switch

[Steven Trovato]

I would expect that the brakes would have to be totally functionless 
on a particular wheel for that test to tell you anything.  For 
example, you might detect a seized wheel cylinder.  However, if you 
are getting even the weakest brake action, you will not be able to 
turn the wheel by hand.  It is my understanding that a brake balance 
switch is detecting a difference in the hydraulic pressure between 
the two circuits, and the way this usually happens is by one side 
leaking.  If everything seems dry and the fluid level has not 
dropped, I would suspect the switch.  If you find a leak or the fluid 
is mysteriously disappearing, then you know where to be putting your 
attention.
