silly sausage 161 Posted November 14, 2012 Hi, It's worth checking the brake fluid level as a first step, I seem to recall that the warning light doubles up as a general brake warning light, hence the fluid in the reservoir moving under braking, acceleration or due to the angle of the car changing will put the light on if it's low. If this is the case and the fluid is suddenly very low it might be worth investigating why it's so low ?If all proves to be ok with the fluid level a faulty or loose switch at the base ot the handbrake lever is another possibility. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
