My BRAKE light keeps on shining!!! + update on life

Whats up guys, first my problem.

SInce about a month ago my BRAKE light turns on everytime I turn my car on for about 15 minutes and then it turns off. I hear no grinding or any difference in driving. I've tried to pump the brake while driving also no good, also did a snowy lot e-brake test also to no help. Any tips? Talked to my friend and he said it could be a cause of my off roading experiences

Lifes pretty much normal, Maxine is doing good *going onto 55k* she makes me smile every day. Upcoming mods: Painted tales, new head unit, and flip out lcd once funds increase, all i can afford now is a PYLE one from ebay for 180? any suggestions?

Hey Adam, What's up? Haven't seen you post much lately... but then again who has the time anymore?... I'm getting killed at work nowadays.

I dunno about the brake-light, though... just wanted to say "hi"

55K & still purrin like a kitten, sounds like she really "likes" you

Later,
G

Or rear pad wear? I don't think the rear brake pads have wear indicators (squeal makers).

havn't checked the brake fluid yet. However the rear brakes do in fact have squeal indicators b/c I replaced my brakes about 5 months ago for the first time (by myself, props everyone?)

Idiot Lights

The brake light usually means your fluid level is low.

Low fluid level is a sign that your brake pads are wearing down.

Topping off the fluid makes the idiot light go off.

Only an idiot wouldn't check his pads about now.

You see, the light is really only there to find out if your an idiot or not.



Let us know how things turn out.
