Brakes

(1/1)

Sabo:
Hi

Apparently on the dash there is a brake warning lite, I didnt know until today!  The light has never come on until today and now will not go off!  The brakes seem fine, no leaks, should I leave it or look further to see if I have a faulty PDWA valve?????????
Or would it have something to do with me changing the rear drums to discs a few weeks ago, OR is it the wonderful WET?

the only thing that put the light on is the fluid level switch on the reservior

check the wires to it and make sure the float hasnt filled with fluid

or even easier top up the brake fluid

Hi

It's the type without a censor on the master cylinder.

If you have to top up brake fluid you have a problem.  Brake fluid doesn't evaporate and it doesn't disappear.  So if you have to top it up, either the pads and shoes have worn so much that the cylinders have gone out and the fluid has filled the cylinders or it is leaking from asomewhere.

NEVER TOP BRAKE FLUID UP WITHOUT FINDING OUT WHERE IT HAS GONE.
