The master warning is there for a reason … if it screams!!! Even more of a reason. On my 1979 just blinking like crazy and wouldn’t cancel out. I thought it was broken.

I was on my knees this morning working to remove that pesky diagnostic warning controller, I didn’t see a reason for it to be flashing therefore it must have failed.

While I was on my knees preparing to remove the diagnostic module, what did I see but brake fluid leaking from the clutch master cylinder. I then check the brake fluid reservoir and yes, it was more than ½ low. Once filled, the master warning was silent.

So, a 46 year old diagnostic system is working and doing a great job!! That is if trusted. Yet another lesson learned … check EVERYTHING before doubting that warning system.

Next, the dreaded clutch master cylinder replace. Ugh.

Nice bullet dodge Rich! I still need to pull the brains out of my 85 and get them to you for a preemptive rebuild. Can you email me the sheets that you distributed at Frenzy? I thought I saved them but cannot find them now (for the LH rebuild)
