Thread: Strange Problem

I would just try to add some fluid, it could save your life and costs $3, over $100 for the alty...

The brake light was on when I bought my 1.6 200sx from key west I didn't think anything of it and one day I went to hit the brakes and nothing, my metal lines running to the rear brakes blew out. Luckly there was no one in front of me. I come to find out the car was flooded in hurricane wilma 2ft of salt water and the car was "rebuilt". So take anything seriously.

Bulbs For Rear Lights Have Corrosion On The Tips.. Clean It Off With Sand Paper

If you are checking the e-brake lever, you may find change jammed or running around the contact switch that triggers the light; I've had that happen before (although it may not be a factor here).

Well I figured it out.

I filled up on brake fluid just below MAX line. Check.

The light was more temperamental so I delved into the e-brake area and found a tricky dime sliding around. Removed it and light is gone. Hooray.

Thanks for the stories, gave me more ideas to check for other things that I thought it may have been. Stupid dime.

and now your 10cents richer! yay!

That made me smile

Hahahahaha, I will frame the dime.
