Civic: Dash brake light remains on.

97hx dd

The brake light on my dash is staying on even without braking.

It will go away briefly during harder braking, but turns back on during any sort of acceleration. It has gotten progressively worse over the past week or so. I have not noticed any difference in drive-ability.

I’ve got a few ideas but this ones somewhat new to me. Suggestions honda guys?

check your fluid, it may be low / sloshing around and right around the level that trips the light.

fluid level

low fluid level
ebrake ground?

hrmm…

more than likely fluid.

fluid just like everyone else said

and since its low on fluid i would get it tested to find out where the leak is and get it fixed

if its low on fluid you may simply need new pads

I checked the level last week and it was 1/4 inch above the min fill line. Just checked again and it was the same. Hrmmm… ok fuggit i’ll try topping it off.
Just went to advanced and poured a cunt hairs worth in… and boom… no more light.:roflpicard: silly me. Shoulda topped it off in the first place.

And yes… I do need brakes… damn they went quick. I’ve been good for 7-800 a week on the thing with the new job, and I guess it crept up on me.

I’m 500 overdue on an oil change too.:banghead:

and the fogs I got for xmas are still sitting in the garage. ughhh…
