Is this just a case of stripping and cleaning to put the light out. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66536-dash-light-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have a leak in the calliper that could be causing the squealing.

Mine is doing exactly the same thing. The brake warning light dimly lights when the wipers come on.

Fluid is ok, so dont think I have a leak, will check tomorrow when she's dry.The light is on all the time, but really dull, doubt you'd see it in the daytime. Then comes on 2-3 secs every 30 seconds to a minute but at appx half brightness. wipers are off and it is dimly lit.Sorry for long winded type up but brakes worry me. Pretty sure they are fine, good pedal feel, fluid at max etc. Anyone know what the light comes on for? is it abs fault or just low fluid?

MILES Donating Members 103 Member For: 16y 11m 14d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 27/09/10 08:45 PM Share Posted 27/09/10 08:45 PM Mr car got a service yesterday. The shop took the front brakes off to see what I need to get them replaced, then put them back together. And now last night when I went for a drive, and same thing, brake light was very dimly lit. When you turn accessories, it briefly lights up at full strength, but while driving, comes on no where near as bright as fully lit.So I'm putting it out there again, Anyone with any Ideas?

Which is good considering the lovely scottish weather.
