Exclamation Two minor problems, help please.

OK first problem, the other day, got in my car turned on the radio and the speakers worked fine, got in the car the next day, not a single noise from the speakers. Attenna goes up and radio does turn on, just no sound.

2nd problem, my e-brake light randomly comes on and off as I drive the car, just started happening yesterday.

loose nut behind wheel (turn the volumn **** up- nothing comes out of the speakers if the volumn **** is all the way down) and you are low on brake fluid

I did turn the volume up, all the way up, nothing.

So the light coming on sporadically is a sign of low fluid?

Ok, yea that was a stupid question. Anyways, can I get away with just adding new fluid or will I also have to bleed the brakes at the same time? And how much fluid will I need when/if I have to bleed them?

you should be able to just add brake fluid as long as the light is not on solid

Ok good, it will come on for a minute or two, then go off, then on again.

E-brake light comes on = add fluid? Hmm there must be something wrong with mine then, since my ebrake light is always on and my fluids is to the max. I'm not trying to hi-jack but weird. Not wires since doubled check when I replace my clutch and checked earlier today. everything is connected.

Can also be a bad switch if the hand brake, but it wouldn't flash like Mindspins
