Hi if anyone can give me some ideas id appriciate it. My problem is after 15-20mins town driving the brake fluid warning light comes on and stays on. The brake pedal feels normal and works and stops as usual.

Ive checked my rear lights and all fine .
Ive removed all wheels and pads ok with no visible leaks on brake hoses. Wheels spin freely, nothing binding.
Ive checked the fluid resevoir and run it on minimum and maximum levels with the same result of light coming on.
Ive removed the sensor to resevoir connection when light on and engine running and the light stays on when sensor disconnected.

Now run out of ideas and next stop is boooking it in to my local specialist.

Thanks for any ideas

steve

Just a thought, you haven't got a loose brake light bulb have you? It could be shaking and disconnecting enough to trigger the warning light whilst your driving?

Hi Keith, thats a good idea.I fitted a new bulb a few months ago so its possible. Ill check when it stops raining lol

Thanks steve.

Also check wires on the pad wear system for bad connections.

Yep checked the tail lights and all bulbs secure.
All the pad wear wires have been capped off due to excessive expense to relace them but will check them again thanks roy.

Also noticed if i start car from cold and sit in park and idle and press the brake pedal lots of times that can trigger it.

Also have a click on pressing brake pedal by the gear selector (under) am guessing this is a safety switch do with haveing to press brakes to exit park but never noticed it before as usually have stereo on before moving off. am guessing this is normal ?

Think im out of ideas if the click is normal and pad wear wires are capped ok.

Thanks steve

My Update

Re-checked the pad wear sensors today and fount the rear was loose and could possibly touch the disc shield ,so have retaped it and tied back out the way ,Have now had two drives and no lights so im hoping this has sorted it. Not sure why the brake fluid light was on and not the pad wear light but if its fixed then hey lol...

thanks for the ideas.
