Default 1988 240 DL brake failure light

I have replaced the master cylinder, the front right caliper, the 4 front brake hoses and the front brake lines from the pressure distribution valve onwards. After a lot of problems I have bled the system but I am getting a brake failure warning light on the dash.
Could someone post a pic of the front brake hose routing around the stut on both sides, do the lines cross?

Thanks

Under the left side of the car by the bottom of the engine compartment there is a valve.You will find a bunch of brake lines going to it.It also has a one wire plug on it.That usually goes bad and makes the light come on.As long as your brakes feel good then you should be fine at the moment.You can unplug the wire and the light should go out.I would reccomend to replace the valve.But I have seen many people just unplug the wire.
