Stupid, but quick sensor/switch question>>
What are the 2 sensors/switches in the top of the brakes proportioning valve, and in the power steering lines? I just wanna know if I can ditch them and the wires leading to them, I have NO ECM or anything. Thanks.

In the top of the brake's prop. valve, that's the sensor that turns on the 'BRAKE' light in the dash for when your brake fluid gets too low. Not sure about the second one...
The one in the power steering line, I believe, is for the air cond. cut-out under heavy pump load.

I'd say leave the brake wires for safety reasons (the ECM doesn't use these lights, they operate the warning light), and ditch the P/S ones (They are for the ECM, or the A/C system, not sure which without looking it up)

Yeah, I agree with JP, leave the one on the brake's valves so that just incase you have a brake failure, you'll be warned about it. I'm glad they put that there, it saved my sorry *** on one of my old NY beater cars in which the lines rusted thru and I lost ALL my brakes, had to slam down thru the gears and stand on the e-brake to get it stopped.
