[averona]

Dashboard brake light comes on at weird times. A. when braking kind of hard. B. when accelerating (sometimes)??

Any ideas?

Low brake fluid or worn out brake pads

ADD FLUID TO THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!

Exactly my sentiments but being a Brit I have to be polite :D

definately low on Brake Fluid - if your fluid looks very dark brown or almost black in the master cylinder reservoir - you can use a turkey baster to pull some of the old out before putting in new. just be sure to twist the screen filter out first. just an option. fill your reservoir almost to the max line.

if it is low again in a couple weeks or months, you have a leak somewhere for sure.

good luck!
