This one should be easy...

Just started a couple of days ago. Intermittently, when I brake hard my brake light comes on. Brakes feel normal at all times under any load. I am just wondering what I should be looking at. Is this brake light in response to my rear or front brakes? I know on the early '90 Ford F-150's, the brake light would come on in response to the rear brakes locking up especially when they are cold . Problem with mine is though... even when the brake light comes on like I said before I don't really have any mechanical symptoms of failure in my braking. Any ideas?

 

I would check the fluid level, it might be dropping below the sensor and activating the light. The warning light is tied directly tothe fluid level I think. Might be time for new brakes or you have a leak somewhere.

 

I would get somebody to press on the brakes while you look at the fluid level of the fluid level. This way you can see for yourself what actually is happening.

 

Thanks for the tips guys... I'll check it out when I get off work.
