Started her up this am and "brake" light is on in dash??
So, i cant imagine how anything happened overnight but the brake light is on in the dash and the brakes went down a bit further than normal this morning. So i stop at the gas station and fill the master with almost a whole bottle of fluid and drive off thinking things are ok. Well the brakes still feel the same and the master is full. If my pads/shoes are worn down bad will that cause this light to go on as well or am i gona have to freeze my nuts off lookin for leaks after work???
Whatcha guys think?? Thanks!
Oh, its a 93 4x4 auto w/ 187,000

did the light go out?.....do you hear anything grind,scraping etc... no putting fluid in never fixes it..just park on nice clean pavement and pump the brakes if you have a leak it will show up

Probably both. But if it's leaking, that shouldn't be to hard to find. Unless the reservoir has been low of fluid for a long time. Brake line usually rust out by where they are clipped to underside. (other vehicles, or cars it would be along the frame rail) JMO!

the only time i get a "brake" light *red light on my idiot pannel* is when my Ebrake is up.. silly question but is your ebrake applied? and if not i would start by bleeding the brakes. if that doesnt work then id start looking for leaks.
