Dash warning light
« on: August 04, 2005, 17:14:41 »
I know this is a dumb question (it's my first post), but the light designated as "brake warning light" in my 280's manual just starting coming on sporatically when I brake. I can't find anything in the manual to explain. What is this warning me of? How soon do I have to address this warning?
Thanks for any input.

There might be a fluid leak so I would check around the brake components if the fluid is in fact low.

The only other thing that could cause this is some switch or wiring malfunction, OR your driver's side door is opening and closing as you drive along ;-)
