Stop Warning Light

[DazBav]

anyone had this on your car my STOP and HANDBRAKE warning light keeps flashing intermittently normally when accelarating and not under braking :S
not checked pads yet but the car has only done 15k although driven hard a lot off course

brake fluid level?

Bearing in mind you admit to driving it abit hard, it could just simply mean you need to replace you brake pads. Failing that, like wxmlad said, could mean you need to top up your brake fluid. The only other things I can think of if neither of the other two work is, maybe your brake/stop sensor is faulty, or you have a leaking master cylinder.

Ive just had another thought. When you check the fluid level, if it's low, take a look at your wheel cylinder, make sure it's not leaking. I would have thought if this was the case you would notice some uneven braking. Worth giving a look though.

when mine did this it really worryed me! it turned out to be the brake fliud!

just checked fluid and is over the max level but guess this would not cause it as only started doing it the last few weeks

oh well guess i will have to get it in the air and check the pads

check the connection on the brake fluid reservoir mate
