Hey, i own a 5spd 4gen max. For sum reason my brake light stays on even tho i put my ebrake all the way down. What could possible cause this problem?

 

Check your brake fluid reservoir - probably low on fluid.

 

is this the only thing that can cause the brake light to stay on? thanks for the help

 

i use to have an old sentra. It did it for a while just because of age, then it seemed to fix itself, so i never paid much attention to it. So i guess, i am no help what-so-ever....sorry.

heh.

 

When your alternator goes bad, lights on your dash will start turning on. If there is a problem with your charging system lights such as ABS and AIR BAG will also come on. I carry one of those portable battery boosters, paid $80 for it and well worth it. Maximas don't always give much warning before they leave you with no juice on the side of the road.

 

my brake fluid is kinda low but i doubt it can flip the light one. Does anyone else no what can cause this problem? thanks for help

 

my brake fluid is at minimum. What kind of brake fluid should i use to fill it up? hopefully this will fix my odo

 

get some valvoline sythetic DOT 3 and DOt4 certified its good stuff and its great priced

 

Brake fluid refill fixed my problem. Poured a little bit in and no more light.

 

ur brake pads are gone or ur fluid is low. low brake pads = low brake fluid = brake light

 

This is straight from the owner's manual:

"Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator
The light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.

Low brake fluid warning
The light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the
light comes on while the engine is running with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle
and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid
as necessary. See “Brake and clutch fluid”
in the “Do-it-yourself operations” section.

2. If the brake fluid level is correct:
Have the warning system checked by a
NISSAN dealer."

Use DOT3 fluid and you should be set.

 

Most likely your brake fluid is low.

 

not always is it the pads are bad...my resovior(the plastic thing u put the fluid into) leeks where it connects to the master cylinder...somtime i will fix this.

 

yeah...gotta be brake fluid. The light went off in my 4th gen 5 spd as well...just top off the brake fluid and its allllll good....

 

Maybe it just doesnt like you?

BTW, I dont kno if i have enought time to fax those numbers to the folks. I will see if i can do it tomarow. just letting you know.
