Corp. Ref. No.: 835019
SUBJECT:
FRONT BRAKE DRAG
MODELS AFFECTED:
1989 CENTURYS
CONDITION:
Brake drag at low mileage may be caused by misadjustment of the brake light and/or cruise control switches, which operate off the brake pedal bracket.
CAUSE:
The brake lamp switch may be holding the brake pedal slightly applied. Also, if these switches are misoriented so that they are touching, they could tilt in
the retainer, resulting in a binding condition.
CORRECTION:
1.
The normal adjustment procedure is to pull up on the brake pedal with a force of 60-80 lbs. (260-350 N.). If no "click" is heard, proceed to Step #
2.
2.
Remove the hush panel.
3.
Inspect for proper switch and retainer orientation (see Figure 1).
IMPORTANT:
A. The switch bodies must not touch each other.
B. The retainer tab must be in the slot on the switch mounting bracket.
