Anglo-Frenchman Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yesterday after braking sharply I noticed my brake warning light came on. I topped up the fluid which was down a gnats but the light remains on. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Have you checked the level of fluid in the reservoir, and the contacts on the float switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Frenchman Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 How do you check the contacts? The level is spot on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 off the top of my head, the light will only come on if the fluid level is down (or the sender is faulty), or if the shuttle value that connects the 2 braking curcuits moves - meaning one circuit is low in pressure. You may not have a shuttle valve fitted. Is the peddle ok? Any leaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 On the top of reservoir cap you'll have the contacts for the float switch, two female spades on the ends of the wires. remove this and check for good contact. I had a similar problem, topping up the reservoir ultimately solved it, couldn't find where the fluid had gone though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
