sorry little to much punkers for me

 

s'all good

 

For the light to come on you either have:

1. A leak

2. Worn out pads

"Topping it off" isn't the answer to either of them. (Maybe temporarily)


Either find the leak and fix it

or

install new pads/shoes

(When you install new pads/shoes after "topping it off" you're going to be pushing the "extra" brake fluid out of the master cylinder, very messy)

Or you could bleed the breaks while you are at it, like its recommended to do


I concur with what he says,....the only other possibility is that the switch for your ebrake is shorted on....but I'd worry about your brakes first.

Yeah Don't remove your Resevoir Cap . Just open the bleeder valve on your caliper and press in the piston. Then top off you resevoir. The dirtiest brake fluid will settle near your caliper in the lines. If you just remove the cap and compress your caliper piston you will push all that **** right into your MC.
Good call Jet Black

Or the fluid just got a little to low because some evaporated.

 

Brake fluid evaporates? Since when?

 

Are you sure ? I've left a cap of a brake reservoir once and in a few days all the fluid was gone.
