Brake warning light
« on: November 07, 2005, 17:26:39 »
For some reason the brake warning light has started to come on intermitantly but comming on more frequently and staying n for longer now, I have checked the fluid level and that is fine and there are no wear sensors on the pads which are new any way!
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers James

I have no sensor's on the pads BUT for some reason the lights came on  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Changed the pad and its stopped.

Dam flashing lights.  I find best way is to remove the bulb  :wink:

our td5 90 has started to do it every time im engine breaking down hill. aparently ours is a fault with the hand brake switch or something. i'll get it warrantied but dont have too much faith in either of our local dealerships.
 Awaiting replacement for damaged steering wheel 5 visits and 2 months on, and some cic lighter sockets for auxillary power, about same number of visits and neumerous phone calls. suposidly cause the computer diagrams and order numbers dont tally or some general incompetence! :evil: somehow seems easier to live with it than sort it

fill the brake fluid up to max, if not already.  Mine did that, and when i looked closer, it only did it when the landy was on a slant.  The sensor in the fluid cap doesnt have fluid on it if the level is below max, so thinks its empty.
