I had a blow out on the passenger side front rear tire. After changing out the tire I got an occasional
brake light with no front brakes being applied. The light would come on after depressing the brakes two or three times and stay on and no front brake. I have checked all four rear drums for a leak nada and checked the front calipers for a leak and that was negative as well. I have a Powermaster for my master brake cylinder and found that one side was a bit low in fluid (Dot 5). Filled reservoir and still get the light.
Something with the combination valve is sticking. I tried to push on the front end of combination valve but could not get any movement.
Once when we were traveling home the brake light would flicker off and on.
I am at a loss any ideas from the forum.
