What else does it warn you of, keeps coming on then going off again, low brake fluid?

 

not sure but i have the same problem,it used to stay on after u drive off then would go off about 5 minutes later, now it stays on all the time, brake fluid level is ok too? be interested to no what it is.

 

Mine will stop when I brake and then come on again, I think it need to check my fluids!

 

Mines stays on all the time but faintly. This is due to somewhere not fitting a turbo timer right tho

 

Topped up fluid and it seems fine now, thanks for replys.

 

Check your brake pads! That might be the reason your fluid as low

 

ive got the same thing mine stops on all the time pads are fine, brake fluid level fine, havent been able to find out why tho

 

Dead right I dont understand why people top up their brake fluid reservoirs! Brake fluid is a non-compressable fluid and should only be topped up if a leak has been replaced!!

 

Topped up my fluid and it had now gone out.

I was playing with the brakes at the weekend so the bleeding must have taken the fluid level below where it wanted to be.

 

Either your low on fluid, low on pad material or the floats stuck.

It is common for the float to get stuck, just take the lid off the resovoir and give the float a poke, that tends to cure it.

 

gotmashed, i've been investigating today! it seems its and earth fault or some kind of fault elsewhere, as i checked the float switch all ok, cleaned the earth connection on where the handbrake bolts to the body and then i noticed that when i let the handbrake off without the engine running, the light dims but doesn't go out, however with the engine running the light goes out and all is ok, this tells me that either something is backfeeding thru earth and causing the light to stay dim, or an electrical component has broken down, possibly the diode pack on the alternator or something alarm/immobilisor related, i've given for a bit as my car has got so many electrical additions, ie alarms, balackjax, gauges, turbotimer, defi controller etc etc and its a total wiring nightmare could be anywhere!!! might be a job for the local auto electrics garage as i'm not sure if i can be bothered, be handy if anyone knows of any common problems???

 

The little float in the brake fluid gets stuck, im a n00b, it happened to me and it was the first thing I looked for! Just wait till the engine is cool and stick your pinky in there and just give i a little whip it'll become unstuck and your light will go off If it don't work go to a reputable garage

 

oohh will try that cheers chaps hope it is that

 

I topped mine up because I had bled the brakes hence low fluild. I do know about such things thankyou

 

sorry mate, didnt mean to be a smart-***
