Why won't the brake warning light go off?
Four Possible reasons... Low brake fluid - check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder Emergency brake is on - check emergency brake Low brake fluid pressure - such as a broken brake line or a bad wheel cylinder. Check the master cylinder to see if it is empty. If you add fluid and pump the pedal you will probably see brake fluid on the ground or on the inside of the tires. Possibly a bad master cylinder. - The fluid will stay full but you will have no or little brake pressure. Could be air in the system as well. BE CAREFUL If you happen to add power steering fluid or transmission fluid to the master cylinder instead of brake fluid you will destroy the system. Make sure you use ONLY brake fluid and clean the master cylinder cap off with a clean rag first so no dirt gets into the braking system.

My brake pedal goes all the way to the floor on my impala wagon 1963 when you apply the brakes what should i do?
Your pedal will go to the floor for a few reasons. First, your master cylinder may be defective and/or empty. The master cylinder will be empty for a reason. Any or all of the wheel cylinders may be leaking, the brake hoses may be leaking or broken, a steel brake line may be rusted through and leaking or broken. A loose fitting will cause a leak too but this is not likely the case on such an old car. I would suggest you fill the master cylinder, bleed the brakes and when done, look for leaks. If you don't find any leaks and the pedal still goes to the floor, the master cylinder is likely bad. Carl King http://www.classiccarauto.com
