The brake light (on the instrument panel) decides to come on every now and then. It's driving me crazy. Could it be the swithch, or something worse? 1997 Discovery I   Jim H.

If it's the light that comes on when you're low on brake fluid then you should add brake fluid. -Jim   Bill Howell (Billh13) Member Username: Billh13 Post Number: 133 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 07:41 am:    Put Brake fluid in the master cylinder. It's low.   Parrish R. Blackmon (Discoveryfl) Member Username: Discoveryfl Post Number: 68 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 08:12 am:    I'll try both. Thanks for the help. Never heard "plucky" before!
