When I installed a lever that had the safety switch it no longer hits the dash, seems they put a limiter on how far down it travels.

Are the new levers direct swaps? Everything is compatible between old and new hookup?

Yes, and a much better and safer upgrade imho

I believe there are two versions with the button. I bought the latest one to swap out. Hope it works fine.

I happen to have the same problem. My A1 came with a push button release parking brake lever and there's actually a pretty awesome hole dented into the dash because of it. A simple brace to limit its travel would fix the problem quite well, but that was one of things I've decided I won't worry about until there's nothing actually important to worry about.

Screw down the knob on the end and then take up the cable slack on the other end. There is an adjustment on the link from the handle where it goes through the B pillar and then splits out to the rear calipers. Take a look at pages 15 and 16 of MWO 9-2320-280-35-1 and you can see where the adjustment is.

It could be the sensor on the portioning valve. How does the pedal feel?
Un plug it....see if it goes away.

Happened to me once. There are a series of brake tests in the TM, I went through them one by one and at some point in the process the brake dash lamp started performing as it should. TMs are our friend
