Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir there is a sensor there that will make the light come on if your level is low.

Just changed your front and rear brakes and shoes. The brake light turns on until you put in more brake fluid. The brakes feel if they were almost touching the floor at times. What could cause this?
If you are losing fluid and the pedal is low, you have a brake fluid leak.
Sticking brake caliper?
If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.
What brake pedal is the cause of air being in the brake system?
The brake pedal has nothing to do with it. If air is in the system then bleed the brakes.
What is the MAIN cause for brake fade?
a wild panda tampering with your brakes
Front brake caliper sticking?
If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.
What would cause brakes on 2007 ford escape to grab the fluid is full and brakes are good?
Sticking caliber. Flush the brake system and install fresh brake fluid, then bleed the brakes. If that does not help, replace both calibers and brake pads on the axle where the brakes are grabbing.
What could cause one of your rear drum brakes to brake more sharply than the other one you already replaced the brake pistons and bleeded the system?
un equal adjustment of brakes will cause one brake to apply earlier and harder than other brake
What can make the brakes grab in reverse?
warped brake discs can cause your brakes to grab in reverse. Hope this helps.
What could be wrong with the ford E450 motor home the brakes are smoking but the emergercy brakes shows its off?
If the rear brakes are smoking, the parking brake cables may be frozen. The dash light may indicate that the parking brakes are released but the switch for the light is connected only to the parking brake lever NOT the actual parking brake shoe assembly. Another possible cause for rear brake lock-up is a malfunctioning rear brake proportioning valve. This valve controls hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and should be changed on a regular basis. Vehicle inactivity and moisture in the brake fluid is a recipe for frozen or rusty brake components. Hope this helps you out!
Why does steering wheel vibrate when brakes are applied?
This is probably due to worn brake rotors on the brakes, if there is no vibration when driving then this will be the cause.
After replacing rear brakes the brakes are now squishy How do you fix this problem?
Bleed the rear brakes and add new brake fluid. Typically the brakes feeling as if they give too much or "squishy" is from small air bubbles in the brake line...so by bleeding and adding new fluid you let out the small bubbles which cause the squishiness. When you changed the brakes many people tend to hit the line as well as not clamp them properly and therefore render the brakes "squishy". Hope this helps. J
What factors can cause brakes to fade or fall?
Worn brake shoes or pads. A leaking brake pipe. Low brake fluid. Air in the brake fluid pipe.
