  • brake warning flashing after pads replacement

    After changing all pads and bleeding,and a full 84 mile road test
    the brake warning light now flashes,but some times off.
    thought it might be electrical contacts maybe on the switch

    any suggestions please about this problem
    The old ones are the best 9000 miles from new and rising

    make sure the floats in the Master Cylinders are no stuck or the brake fluid level is not low.

      levels and floats

      double checked both brakes
      might have to put a bit of black sticky tape over the warning light for now

        Fixed

        Cleaned and Rebuilt the Master cylinder including the holes now it does not stick on anymore.
        The flashing light I measured the Sensor it was DEAD so Joined the two wires up and now the brake indicator thinks its full of fluid which it is.
        Problem solved
        Took it for a 20 mile run through Topeka which has tons of traffic lights and the wheels are free rolling at every red light.
