Brake Failure!

Hello, so I was out testing some suspension changes I made and seeing how the braking felt last night. I stand on the brakes and about halfway down the pedal goes to the floor. I let go and I still have brakes but now you have to push the pedal down ~1" more than before. I limp it home to investigate.

Get into the garage and step on the brakes hard, pressure... pressure.. and pshh all the way to the floor. I looked underneath and there is brake fluid everywhere.

One of the pressure switches on the M/C blew a hole in the middle of the plastic end part. Right in the center of the wire terminals. These are new parts!

Anyone seen this before? It scared me because this could have turned out waay worse! I'll try and get a picture of it tonight.

Mike
