brake light coming on
When i accelerate hard my brake light is coming on. Any ideas as to why?
I have a power FC is this sometype of warning sign? I looked thru the manual and didnt find anything.

problem was that when I was shifting hard into second it caused the fluid to move in the tank away from the sensor so the light came on... could be your problem as well

Mine did this too! Glad I wasn't the only one stumped on this problem.
