When I turn the car off, the Brake Warning Light flashes for a split second and vanishes. Happens everytime. Anybody got an idea? Thanks.

 

Keep it on...

 

did you ever noticed it doing it before? or did you just noticed it now?

If you just noticed it now, maybe its when you turn off your car, your key briefly went past the number 2 position, which basically lets you roll down your windows and what not without actually turning on the engine, at that position, the car also goes through a gauge bulb check to see if the bulbs are burnt (you the driver have to look to see if the bulbs are physically on) so as it briefly goes past that position the brake light will quickly flickers on and off. ( This is just my thought, don't take it word for word, and as brake is a safety issue, it would be wiser to do a total system check)

Another thing to check for is since the brake warning light system ties in with the ebrake handle (engaged Vs. not engaged), check the switch where the ebrake handle is at, to see if there is any loose connections, then check the sensor where the brake fluid reservoir to see if any connections is loose. Other than that, I again, recommend for a shop check.

 

make sure brake fluid is full. mine would come on and off when i had low fluid.

 

i second checking brake fluid mine did the same. and it was a little low

 

if your fluid is low it might also come on when You make hard turns so you might want to look at it then, i know thats what mine did.

 

Thanks for your help guys, but I don't think I gave enough info.
First off, I know the cars brake system and the fluid level. It's all fine. Everything is in order. I made sure little things like warning lights or low fluid were in check, before I made this post. The thing is, I didn't really wanna point any fingers but since there doesn't seem to be a simple solution to this, Im guessing I started to notice it flicker on when I would shut the car off after I had my alternator rebuilt the second time. Not first. Something theres gotta be interconnected or somethin, cause when my battery was low because of my bad alty, my battery warning light AND brake light would stay on and off. First time I got it rebuilt it was fine. But since I had a bad power steering leak going all over the alty for a long time, it went bad. And when it got rebuilt the second time.. shortly after I would notice the brake light flicker on for half a second while shutting the car off. It only flickers once.. So fast you would barely notice. Very weird. Hope thats enough info this time. Thanks.

 

Swap the alternator, you may be right.
actually before you do that check all you connections.

 

 

when you edit, thetop thing should say "delete this post" followed by a singlr line text box that says "reason for deletion"

 

Have u cleaned the ABS gnd wire:

 

Yep..guess I wasn't looking hard enough - Thank you..if u haven't noticed I just deleted the 2 posts.

 

Hey Vadim...I'm thinking now that this might just be what happens when turning the ignition off.
I noticed last night my 91 Max does the same thing, but I'm not worried about it - It probably always did that and I never took the time to notice. I think it is because when u turn the key back, you go back to that one spot (right before you would start the engine) where all the dashbaord lights come on - I think thats why the brake light lights up for that split second...I personally wouldn't sweat it...(unless of course it starts coming on randomly while you are in motion - then thats a problem!)

P.S. As far as I know, my altenator is original, and as it stands now is in perfectly good condition - my battery is pretty new, got a brand new battery after I bought my Max 2 years ago...so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it - Maybe thats just what our cars do normally...???

 

Nope. Problem is not big, but it is indication of smtg happening...

Battery an alternator change deos 'nothin' to oxidzed grounds. Only way to make sure is to open and clean, or live on vain hope...

Hey.. Yeah, probably isn't a problem. But it's just not suppose to be that way. You know what I mean? Im gonna try cleaning the grounds like Wiking said, see what happens. Thanks.

P.S. - Got any pics?

 

Hey..if cleaning the grounds makes a difference let me know and I'll do the same!! Yes, I have pics of myself and my car...PM me or u can IM/Email me at: LaurenMarie518@aol.com
