Hi guys.
Another little problem for ya.
On my 87'Fourtrak my break light on the right hand side of steering wheel stays lit.
Now my friend who drives an old Citroen AX had a similer problem where-as her break light flickered on but it turned out to be that her break pads needed replacing.....
Could this be the same for my Wagon?
Thanx
Ps. the break fluid is fine.

sounds like you pads have sensors take off your front wheel and see if there is a wire going to the pads. at the same time u can check the pads yourself. good luck kermie.

Alternativly, is the button that tells the light to come on stuck in the open position?

Big Thanx To One and All
Ok guys, sorry for the delay in replying.
Looked at my pads and yes, they do need replacing!!
But as the light has been on for quite a while now im going to take Daves advice and check his theory out too.
In answer to Pete, yeah,the handbrake seems fine.
Thanx again for everyones input.

Brake Light Staying On
Hi Atticus! Don't Know if you've sorted your light problem yet, if not there are other things that this could be. Is your handbrake fully releasing? Hope it's nothing too serious mate,

Ok, this is an easy fix. In
Ok, this is an easy fix.
Inside the break fluid reseviour, there is a magnetic float, in the shape of a white circle, that floats on the fluid. If you run low or out of fluid, the float drops to the bottom, where it touches the contacts in the bottom of the reseviour, completing the circuit. When you refill it, sometimes the float doesnt release from the bottom, and the light stays on. Get a screwdriver or similar, and poke around in the fluid till you free the float. Light will go out, problem solved.
