    Brake fluid light flickering on and off

    I'm able to overlook the brake lining light flickering, I know thats just the sensor, but just this week the Brake Fluid light started blinking. I checked the reservoir, there appears to plenty of fluid.

    Should I chalk this up to another bad sensor/electrical gremlin or is there something else I should be checking?

    If it is full, then you should be ok. Where is the fluid level on the res? It should be close to max.

      I hope that if you have TOO MUCH fluid, the light comes on. If that's the case, and you overfilled it, then you have to syphon some out. mmmm mmmmm!

      Seriously, i've never heard of a bad brake level sensor, but it could definitely be. It is a part prone to failure
