Expert Reply:
First start by checking to ensure your brake pedal is properly returning when the brakes are not applied. You may need to adjust the Cylinder # DM6210 if they it has moved and is not allowing the brake pedal to fully return to its released position. You may also need to replace the Reed Switch # DM65MV as if the reed switch arcs to ground, it will either no longer work or cause the LED to stay illuminated at all times.
