Brake idiot light
Hey guys,
I just got an engine rebuild last week, i dont drive the car in the winter, but i have had no choice for the past week. It's been unusually cold. Anyways, since the rebuild, the (!) (brake) light comes on when i first start the car. Once the car warms up for like 5-10 minutes, the light goes out. What the hell is going on? The parking brake is down, i've tried pumping the brakes a couple hundred times, and still nothing. It seems to be affected by weather. Is it a sensor? Thanks for the advice.

I bet the brake fliud is cold, and the floater in the resivor is sticking or somethin. Mine will do the same thing now, and the light goes out, and the resivour is full. Only a guess...
