How much differance is there. A little bit is ok. I don't think FDs have a brake valve that would trigger a dash brake light due to a caliper or other brake problem, other than low fluid. Jeff

I don't think I can feel it when I let go of the gas...
I'll check the fluid today.

If that truly is your problem, you could rebuild the caliper or get a new one. Rebuilding is easy, do a search, you'll find more information. Rebuild kit=$30, new caliper=$200.

You should check your brakes. They could be worn out, that is the main reason for brake fluid to be low.
