HI there,

this is located in the boot on the left hand 1/4 panel, it will pick up that the resistance through the brake system is out of range and sets the warning light on the dash.

Thanks Mark,
Now I know where to look at.
There is one thing missing though, is this device like a capacitor, or a relay, a breaker, or what?

Is it in the relay section of the fuse panel? attached to the wall?

I appreciate very much your input and your help, I was totally lost.

This is the first time I am baffled for something that no one knows about.
Best Regards, Fred
