I recenlty replaced the brake switch at the pedal (couldn't get lights
or out of park without using the emergency release on the column).
Obviously there isn't much to go wrong on this repair, but
coincidentally or not, I now have an intermitent situation where the
brake pedal remains in a partially depressed position after getting
into gear and movement can only be achieved under the drag of the
brake. My wife claims that this occurs while at cruise occassionally
resulting in the van shuttering violently. It is only resovled at
cruise by her lifting the pedal upward with her foot to relieve the
pressure.
I got it resolved this morning, but have no idea how. Cycled the car
on and off, forward to reverse a few times, removed cap to the fluid
reservoir, then it went back to normal.
I have checked for obstruction at the pedal and for proper
installation of the switch, nothing. It seems to be hydraulic like a
suction.
I appreciate any thoughts. (ABS, Master Cylinder, etc.....)
