Title: Quick question:
Post by: steveofrost on October 19, 2005, 08:33:58 PM: What does this mean for a warning light on my dash:Ã‚Â Ã‚Â (!)

Any help would be great... I think it has something to do with breaks, but the E-break isn't being used and I have topped up my fluids... what else can I do... Jeeez, something must be wrong 'cause my ride just doesn't 'feel' right....

or switch is stuck/out of adjustment

If that doesnt work, i would think about getting the brakes checked by a garage, they are quite an important part!!! ;D

so.. maybe it means it's a "Bang Warning Light"? Like if you don't pay attention to it, something might go... "BANG".

;D

Post by: steveofrost on October 20, 2005, 11:33:06 AM: Thanks all for the quick responses. I topped up brake fluid. I'm having some exhaust work done at a muffler shop that does brakes as well, so I'll get them to check the front and rear brakes. I was hit a while back and my brakes were smoking bad that night, so maybe they need to be looked at asap. Winter is coming and I think it would be a great idea! One more thing though: How do I 'tweak' my switch for the light on the dash, if everything checks out ok that is... I had my ECM replaced as well a while back, so I guess this warning light could be from a many number of things! Joy! Thanks again all,
