The last time I drove my Cobra; the instrument cluster brake light came on.? The brakes still seemed to work normally.? I disconnected the electrical connector to the proportioning valve and the light went out.? So, I tried centering it and the light is still on when the electrical connector is connected, and ignition is on.

The centering method I used was to slowly bleed the front brakes with three full pumps as I was watching the cluster brake light.? It always stayed on.? I then slowly bled the rear brakes with three full pumps and again the brake light stayed on.? The pedal sank to full stop with both bleedings.? Is there something I am missing?

Is there anything else that would cause the cluster brake light to come on?? It seems that if disconnecting the proportioning valve electrical connector makes the cluster brake light go out, it must be the proportioning valve activating it.

I have noticed for a while that when sitting at a stop light with the brakes on and in gear, the brake pedal seems to very slightly creep down, but the brakes still hold.? I have no brake fluid leak so there could be an internal leak in the master cylinder.? It was replaced several years ago but it does not have many miles on it.? The brake fluid is clear.

Any suggestions?
