shawdreamer Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 You do realise this is an indication of low brake fluid ?? true, he may have a better indication that this is the case as he'll often see the light flicker when the cars in motion, caused by the sensor intermitantlly being covered as the fluid sloshes about.
