Brake light?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: MarkVIII93

Ive noticed that when im driving especially when turning while on the brakes. My brake light comes on. It only happens every now and then.

Sound like an ABS sensor. Clean the fronts first.

Check your fluid. Make sure it's where it should be.

Gosh, My fluid. I havent checked that in ages. Im replacing my whole brake system with cobra hubs and brakes. It will be fun and inexpensive!

Mine does that once and a while, I have to be hard accelerating and then hard brake right turn for it to happen.I figured the fluid was a slight bit low possibly. Hasn't done it enough to care.

mine did it all the time when my break pads got low

As the brake pads wear the fluid level drops and more fluid is now in the brake lines. In my experience, the brake light coming on in a turn is usually a sign of low fluid due to the float sensor dropping.

My pads are very worn.

thats what ford teaches is that in a perfect world you should never have to add fluid (unless you are changing a caliper, line etc.) and it works almost like a low pad life sensor, pads get low and light comes on since nobody listens to the squeeler's they just come in when they are metal to metal and say it just started making noise a minute ago
