Drove out and all was fine!!!As it wasnt a full wash just a rinse headed down the motorway to do a 'round the block shammy' dry...Got about 5 mins down the road and for no reason the brake warning light came on... (not the abs light, just the brake warning light - no it wasnt the handbrake light either)...Not sure why it came on - still felt like they were ok... did a few quick stops and it was still ok...The warning light didnt look to have come on fully, just as a dim warning...Any ideas?Water in the brakes?Heated brake fluid?Anyone had this happen before... :RBSIGN: :smilecouncil: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44866-brake-warning-light/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it all the time during winter - country roads and water crossings. Apparently got something to do with moisture and the ABS sensors at the wheels - slight short in warning system I guess. Nothing to worry about though ... although brakes don't work efficiently when wet Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44866-brake-warning-light/#findComment-665510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
