Re: 97 Tahoe dash brake light

I know its been a while, but I figured it out.

The rear brake self-adjusters were frozen. This caused me to have to step on the brake pedal twice to get good brakes.

I ended up replacing the master cylinder thinking that was the issue about a month ago. I knew I had to pump the brakes to get good brakes, but I knew I was not loosing fluid. After replacing the mater and bleeding all 4 corners, the issue remained. As you can imagine, I was kinda pissed. So more time went by and then it dawned on me about the rears not self adjusting. I cracked them open last weekend and found that to be issue. I removed both self adjuster, cleaned them very well and put them back. Got the brakes adjusted and had instant great brake pedal!

I apologize for the delays and getting back to you guys, but there it is. Problem solved and cost me $0.
