My cars brake light goes on when i accelerate?
I have a ford 2001 escort sports edition, and i recently got my brakes fixed (new brake pads and calibers) and after a few weeks when i an completly stopped at a red light the accelerate, the brake light goes on for a few seconds and then will go off. And nothing feels wrong with the car.
Level in the master? Sticky master reservoir float?
I believe the calipers are unrelated, but I'm unsure where a sneak circuit between anything involved in accelerating the vehicle and the brakes lights would be.
Usually the brakes are on a circuit that is tied in the with foot pedal for the brake, either by a direct switch or one driven off of the hydraulic pressure for the brakes (such as on my motorcycle) and engine has circuits for the Engine computer, High voltage systems for the spark plugs (which is insulated) and various other circuits for the various cmponents like the EGR, fuel injectors (sometimes) etc.
My suggestion, do an inspection of the wires under the hood. Check for frayed wires etc. But also asking a mechanic for an inspection would be warranted
but are you sure this isn't a "safety feature" of the car?
- WHAT WRONG? No lecture$. LHF brakes metal to metal week+ Today pedal goes to floor No brake power until almost bottom out Fluid not low? 05 AWD Ford Freestyle. Besides grinding all around brakes were fine. Now noise is close to negligible. Replacing Front pads/rotors tomorrow. A must to bleed now? Air in system? Caliper?

- 2001 Ford Mustang brake light don't work when I push down on brake pedal? So my 2001 mustang won't shift out of park because of brake lights. When I push the brake pedal the lights don't come on but when I push the brake switch up with my hands Manualy the brake lights come on? Any ideas why the switch is not working when I push the brakes and lights come on when I push it by hand?
- Let the master cylinder run dry and now the brake pedal goes to the floor when I turn the car on. Is air still in the system? I pulled the car out of storage and i noteced the left front caliper was leaking so I replaced the caliper. The only problem was the master cylinder ran dry. I bleed the brakes three times. I did not see any air in the lines after I bleed them a third time. When the car is off the brake pedal gets rock hard when the pedal ia depressed about half way. With the car on the brake pedal goes to the floor. Would this be cause by air in the system? The car is a 03 ford focus.
