Hey guys, well recently i was asked a very simple question. "Hey Josh, the brake light on my dash is on like my park brake is set, but it's not set. What's up?"
Well, unfortunately car companies also use the "park" light as a warning.
See, in more modern vehicles they have dual master cylinders (heart of breaking system) So, if one fails you can still stop.
So, if your light is on. But your brake is not set, you have a pressure leak in one of your master cylinders.
Bring it to a shop, they should be able to repair it for under $100.
You may ask "well, i can still stop, so why do i need it?"
And the answer is: Simply, if one of you master cylinders already failed, the other may be coming up soon. And if that happens you loose all your breaks. Bad deal.
So, trust me when i say it's worth it to get it repaired.
Sorry if this doesn't interest anyone. Just a random post.
Thanks.
