Brake light in dash 03 cobra

[BlownShelby10]

Just got a brake light in dash. Brakes are about 5 years old. Any ideas on what it might be?

Fluid good? Mine had done that once and it was ever so slightly low and would turn that light on during acceleration.

Check your brake pads and go from there.

Low fluid?

Recent work? The sensor just clips into the master cylinder and can be knocked loose.

I’ll check fluid when I get home and go from there. If low what do you guys recommend to top it off?

Low fluid sitting

If when braking hard it’s low pads

There are what I’ve seen on mine.

As your pads get used and worn down they get lower and the fluid gets lower as well. Being that brakes are 5 years old chances are it might be due for a pad swap. When you push the piston back into the caliper it will raise the brake fluid level. If you just top it off, there’s a chance you will spill out of your reservoir the next time you do a brake job if you’re not careful. Then it will be overfilled and you’ll have to remove fluid.
