Just brought my 72 CS out of storage Saturday. All went well even the ride home, no problems at all. Brakes worked fine no brake light on. Today, wanted to back it out of the garage for some pictures and the brake light is on and brightly. Fluid is top full. had tarp under it for storage over winter and nothing on the tarp. Had complete brake job less than100 miles ago, new master cylinder, calipers, pads, rear wheel cylinders, shoes, Any help as always, greatly appreciated. Can't find in my service manual how to diagnose brake light on. PS, wife loves the fuzzy dice








brake fluid all done by very reputable shop. Brakes work absolutely great. Can't find in my shop service manual how to diagnose the brake light being on. All help is of course highly appreciated, will load some pics of the freshly un hibernated 72CS

 

Pull up on the emergency brake pedal while you pull the release handle.

 

Great looking CS!
What is the name of the manufacturer of your front bench seat center console assembly?
I'm getting ready to order one.
Thanks.

 

Got it from OPGI it is the large one, kinda wish I would have shopped around more and got the smaller one. Glad you like it, Thanks

 

Where did you get the coolant overflow bottle? I like how you have it mounted to the fender. Thx.

That looks like the overflow bottle I bought at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

Thanks for the input. I've been reviewing several of them including the OPGI. I found one style I like which is a little narrower I am considering.
Still, the quality of the OPGI looks pretty nice & may be the same manufacturer >>> https://classicconsoles.com/bd-drinkster/
They have x3 styles: BC-Cruiser™ Console, BC-Shorty & BD Drinkster (the style I'm considering).
This site sells the same narrow style BD Drinkster w/ a good selection of colors; again, maybe the same manufacturer as OPGI and/or classicconsoles >>> https://www.cupholdersplus.com/narro...r-console.html
Thanks!

BTW, did you fix your brake light issue?

 

Haven't figured out the brake light on yet. Will work on it later today. The overflo bottle is a Dorman, found it on ebay for less than $20 shipped.

 

I bought a similar console from cupholdersplus.com for both my 71 cutlass and a buddy's 64 pontiac catalina. They are really well made and the company will quickly ship you color samples to nail down the correct color to match your interior. I highly recommend them.

 

Thanks!
