If the " BRAKE " warning light comes on in your dash either the BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL IS LOW in the brake fluid reservoir located in the engine compartment
of your 1995 Ford Mustang or the parking / emergency brake is engaged
The brake warning light
I step on brakes, dashboard light comes on which says stop.
I am assuming you mean the dashboard handbrake warning light. On many modern cars, the handbrake warning light comes on when the brake fluid is low. The early indication of this is when the light comes on when going around a corner and then goes out once you straighten up. If the fluid gets really low the light will stay lit.
A dashboard light appearing when brake pedal is depressed usually means brake fluid is low.
The brake warning light comes on in your dash if the emergency brake is on or the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW
Is the brake fluid level low in your brake master cylinder in the engine compartment ?
The brakes?
what does it mean when light comes on
In my experience I have noticed it comes on when I am low on brake fluid
From the 1996 owners manual (which probably also applies to your '95): This light functions for both the parking brake and the foot brake systems. The light comes on when the parking brake is applied, and also warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light comes on while the engine is running with the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the following: 1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See ''Brake fluid'' in the ''Do-it-yourself operations'' section. 2. If the brake fluid level is correct, check the warning system.
Check the level or brake fluid in the master cylinder Make sure parking brake is fully released
If you mean the brake light in your dashboard, it means that you have your emergency break on while the car is on.
