Summary
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN REPLACING OR RE-FILLING BRAKE FLUID AT THE MASTER CYLINDER. THERE ARE SEVERAL WIRING HARNESSES THAT RUN UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER THAT CAN BE EASILY SPILLED UPON. CAUTION: BRAKE FLUID CONTAINS PROPERTIES THAT CAN CAUSE A SHORT-CIRCUIT IN A WIRING HARNESS. IF BRAKE FLUID IS SPILLED ON ANY WIRING HARNESS, CLEAN IT UP IMMEDIATELY USING A SHOP RAG AND WATER. BE SURE TO WIPE THE FLUID COMPLETELY FROM THE HARNESS.
