i think that is just for ABS systems, i may be wrong but you may just need a parking brake light.

Jon, the one car I can remember that I owned that had non-power brakes and a brake light on the dash had a switch on the master cylinder that was triggered if there was low fluid in one of the two compartments. It would really only come on, as I recall, when there was an obvious brake problem and the pedal went to the floor -- so the light was next to worthless. If your master cylinder isn't wired for a switch, then what I would do (if your MC is visible) is just hook a phony switch with some wires to the bottom of it and label it "brake pressure warning light." If your MCs are hidden in a footbox then just run a wire in to the box and have the label right below where the wire goes in. Then just put a light on the dash and wire it to come on with the ACC position only.

Now are you trying to say the NJ DMV people are DUMB nitwits????

All you need is a p valve with a sensor in it like the ones we used to use back in the day from the mustang 2. It makes a ground when you loss brakes.

I remember those lights. They came on 1 second before you hit something.
