Subject:My other car won't start, 'cause i messed with the brakes...

While my Vanagon is having problems of its own,  I thought sombody
might know why my 95 toyota celica won't start,  after I scraped some rust
off the edge of the right rear brake drum.   It ran fine before I took the
tire off and tried to clean some surface rust off...So now when I turn the
key,  it turns over a couple times,  then this rapid clicking sound can be
heard,  and the brake warning light comes on.   Is there a sensor that I
have damaged or soiled in the rear brake drum,  that is telling my computer
not to allow the car to be started?  I never should have touched the brake,
I had made an appointment to get it fixed on Tuesday anyway...I really want
to work on my own cars,  but I must admit that my ignorance is only eclipsed
by my ability to make things worse.

      hanging my head in shame,      Rob
