Brake light warning light on dash..??
I have no clue why my brake light is coming on...?? The fluid is full, the e-brake is all the way down and the pedal felt fine, all my lights were working... so I just drove it to work... about a hr later i started her again and the light was gone...???
It's happened twice in the past week...??? What gives... thnx. |
check the float in the brake res. it may be sticking.

Hrm. Dont know about your 7 but mine is a 81 and the only time the dash brake light comes on is if my parking break is engaged. Its there to tell me to take it off before I try to drive I think. My brake light has absoultely nothing to do with the actual braking system. Just the parking break.

If it doesn't go away I'd say its electrical; probably your emergency brake light switch is sticking.

As 7springs said, your float may be sticking because the light will come on for low fluid levels.
Or i suppose if could be your parking brake sensor switch sticking a bit. so maybe check that too. If everything works i would worry about it. if something goes wrong with your brakes, that little light will not help much lol |
