My brake warning light comes on after about 30mins of driving, i have had all the brakes checked and are all ok, the brake fluid is full as well, so has anyone got an idea why the warning light keeps coming on?
cheers
simon

Brake pad warning light, but all brake pads are fine, im assuming its one of the sensors that has a loose wire maybe

They are very fragile, one of mine broke off when I was changing the discs.I put up with it as I know the pads have loads left on them and get checked regularly.You can check the sensor by taking the wheel off and following the wire from the pad back.

This is why mine has no sensors fitted & are just looped back, even then I occassionally get a brake pad warning light up :evil:
