Re: Break warning light stays on

If you get a leak in a brake line, (or bleed them w/o locking the pin in place) the pressure is unequal between the front and rear so the switch on the block by the MC is turned on, making the light come on.

Did you bleed the brakes recently?
Low on fluid?
Bad brakes?

The light is saying you have brake problems.

Re: Break warning light stays on

It comes on sometimes and sometimes it wont. I pressure washed the engine bay on day and it has jacked up eversence. I dont have any leaks just checked that. Fluid is full. Pedal is hard as rock so no air in it that i can feel. The light is no bright it is kinda dim. I have never heard of the pin you put in it to bleed the breaks.
