Brake fluid holder.

There is a connector that is on the side of the brake fluid holder what is this for and do you need to keep it? This one wires is holding me back from hiding my wires.
It is for low brake fluid. It might cause your brake light to stay on in your dash. Although I have unhooked it from 3 different cars and have not had a problem yet with the light. :shrug:
It should not hurt anything if you unhook it.

Yep it is nothing more than a low fluid sensor. The side effect is that sometimes the brake warning light stays on because the open in the circuit confuses it and the car sees it as haveing low brake fluid. If it does give you fits the simple fix is to place a jumper wire to join the two connectors.

To avoid the light do you think I could just solder the two wires together would that work?

Thanks guys

Yeah that would work. That is if your light stays on. Just unplug it and drive around and see if it even stays lit.
Like I said earlier, I have done this on 3 different cars and it had no affect on the light.

lol I wish I could drive it around the engine is out of it. Thats why I am hiding the wires since the engine is already out. i'll just solder them together and wrap them up with electrical tape. Thanks for the help
 
Hiding the wires is very interesting project in the fact
that you find so much electrical crap that you don't
need. Just think of older cars, they didn't have all these
sensors to tell you that your fluids were low....

If you need help hiding wires, let me know...

If I run into a problem I might take you up on that. I am almost done i have the wires that run across the fire wall inside the car then come out by the tranny tunnel. Then I moved the vaccum tree and coil and starter seleniod in the drivers fender. Right now I am debating weather I want to keep the wiper motor. I took out the wiper fluid bottle. Now that I can take out the one wire that goes to the brake fluid and can get them completly out of the engine bay. Thanks for the info guys
