Master cylinder float stuck

Hi all,

Yesterday I had a front caliper start leaking which made the level drop enough to turn on the dash warning light, as it should.

I replaced the caliper and pads today, refilled the master, bled the system. brakes are working fine.

Now the dash light won’t turn off. I see the yellow float in the center of the master is stuck in the down position.

Has anyone been able to free a stuck float? I hate to change a master cylinder because of that.

thanks, Joe

If anyone runs into this.

After driving for a couple days the float freed itself some how.

Maybe some kind of burr on the guide the float rides on?
