    Dash Brake Light Problem

    Well I have a problem that just appeared last night. I have read every thread dealing with the brake light and have found no solution through browsing. My brake fluid is full and my ebrake is not sticking so far. Heres the problem. After coming back home from races yesterday 20 miles down from the track my brake light would come on and glow according to my rpms or how fast I was going. When I floored it, the light glowed bright red, but when I let off the light would go out. When i would push it a little it would light up in accordance. Anyone ever heard of this before?

    It's probably the fluid level sensor freaking out. Maybe you should buy a new cap for the master cylinder resivoir, or maybe you can unstick it.

    thats my guess 2 since its full, its getting sensitive and whenever you even move the sensor is picking it up, more you floor it the more forced back the fluid goes the more freaked out that sensor gets, j/y ftw for easy test

    Did you try disconnecting it to see if the problem goes away? that would tell you if it's stuck.

    Well so far it hasnt come on at all today, and I have been doing some pretty spirited driving. Maybe it was just a fluke?
