Reply to Jason's Post: Yes, there is nothing wrong with the brake pedal lamp switch. The brake light stays on when it is plugged into the master cylinder. When it is unplugged, the light goes out. All the brakes work fine. The VSA switch works fine when unplugged from the master cylinder. When plugged in, all VSA indicators come on.

Ok all you need to do is replace the cap to the master cylinder there is a sensor in it that goes bad and causes this so replace the master cylinder cap and you will be fixed about 25.00 from dealer easy to do yourself

There is a sensor in the reservoir, there is no sensor in the cap. Do you think it is the reservoir? Will the reservoir need to be replaced?
