#15440, "Brake light comes on after upgrading rotors and SS lines"


          

I upgraded rotors and SS lines this weekend and when I went to drive, the brake light didn't turn off after putting the e-brake down. What could cause this?

Check your fluid level in the brake fluid resevoir. If it is low the light will stay on to warn you. did you bleed your brakes after installing the new lines? Did you check the level after driving it around for a while? Check it again,

First check your brake fluid level. If it is low, then it will trigger the emergency brake light. If that doesn't fix it, then check vacuum lines that you may have touched prior and during the install. This could be it because vacuum affects the braking system

im willing to bet either you didn't bleed the lines, or you didn't fill the reservoir enough.

most often that light is due to low brake fluid level
