1 Brake Light Switch problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2010

Vehicle brought to repair shop for burning smell. It was found that front brakes were locked. Bleeders were opened which released the front brake application. Only the built up pressure in the caliper was released, hydraulic system was not drained, or bled. The brake fluid is full, there are no signs of fluid contamination. Now, vehicle has a hard brake pedal but absolutely no brake application. No brake fluid escapes when opening bleeders, with helper pressing brake pedal. I thought, even in the event of complete abs failure, the basic hydraulic system would still be functioning. Updated 4/13/10 the problem was created by an improper adjustment of the brake position switch (brake light switch). Updated 05/13/10.
