low brake fluid?

or are you speaking of the brake light bulb out indicator?

[GenDBlade]

no. its the ebrake light. my brakes work fine. its just when i go around a turn it turns on, then turns off afterwards

[nucleara]

did you check the connector on the ebrake lever (its easily seen if you take the cover off)? sorry for the microsoft customer support question.

[GenDBlade]

no i did not

probly low brake fluid. Check that first.

[bluecb7]

Like others have said check your fluid level. The light lets you know that your parking brake is set AND that you're low on fluid. Since it's only around turns I would guess its not horribly low, but just low enough.

will be checked in the morning.

(connector is fine)

i checked the brake fluid level. its right at the minimun line. after i checked it tho the light turned off and hasnt turn on since. should i put more fluid in still?

[crusto2k3]

Wouldn't you think that you should put it up to Maximum

[wherm]

Add fluid up to the top line.

i dont know much about the brake system. i know that i press on the pedal. the fluid pushes the pads onto the rotor and it slows the car down. thats bout it.

[crusto2k3]

well, then yeah, all your fluids should be to max.

lol, I didn't think to ask him about the levels, I had thought that would have been his first step before asking. but seriously check fluid levels often, you don't want to all of a sudden lose braking ability. an don't forget the rest of them. this has been a PSA by nucleara.
