Shadow Beast Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 need a bit of advice, jumped in the wifes car tonight and there are 2 warning lights on, they go off after a while but then just come back on again for no reason! They are the ones that come on when the handbrake is applied, dont worry i did not pull off with it on then release it!! they are a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle and on the right dial a round circle with an exclamation in the middle and brackets around the outside. (does this make sense?) is there some sort of micro switch arrangement on the handbrake that is not fully releasing or is it a more serious problem!! do the brakes have sensors on them and its a warning for them? help would be appreciated Cheers Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Brake fluid low maybe? Thinking about it at a more sociable time of day, its brake fluid i would say. Normally the engine light comes on if its fault code time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 just checked the brake fluid and it was closer to the min than to the max, just topped it up and taken it for a spin and it has seamed to of cured the problem, i will check the pads though to make sure they are ok. cheers for the help guys richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Brake Fluid. If it was an engine trouble code, it wouldn't go off and come back on again. It'd stay on until you turn the engine off. If it is low and you've still got plenty of pad left, be sure to check for leakage around your front calipers. There have been quite a few that have fractured wround the bleed nipple. (Voice of experience on this one I'm afraid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
