Are your brakes the ones with warning light wires on when they get low?? It might just be your brake pads raching the end of their life.
Actually I was mistaken when I said the brake fluid level was right where it should be. It was a little low and adding about 2-3 ozs of brake fluid solved the problem. Eric
Okay, so now it's time to answer another question. Where did 2-3 oz. of fluid go? Normally as the lining wears on the pads and shoes (assuming rear drums) the level of fluid drops in the master cylinder as the backing plates move closer to the rotor/drums. Having the light go on for low fluid is a reminder that you should get the brakes inspected, if this is the only time you've added fluid since long ago brake service. If you're adding
2-3 oz. frequently (and that means that you remember the last time you added 2-3 oz) to turn the light off, chances are you have a leak.Re: "Brakes" warning light.
