Both the Power Steering pump and the brake booster operate hydraulically. Putting brake fluid in the power steering pump will not harm it since brake fluid is a light oil only with different properties. I would only worry if it were the other way around and you put power steering fluid in the brake master cylinder. Power steering fluid doesn't have the heat range or density of brake fluid.
No , the rear brake lights do not turn on when you use your parking brake , just the brake light on your dash is supposed to come on
I'm assuming that your problem is that your ABS and or brake light is on in your Ram 1500? If that's the case you may have a problem with your ABS or your brake system as a whole. Check your brake fluid (being careful not to touch it with your bare hands, brake fluid is toxic), if it's low, get it filled. If the brake fluid isn't the problem, take your Ram to a mechanic and have the brakes inspected. You'll want to do this sooner rather than later as your brakes are obviously a critical component of your vehicle. check the sensor on the rear differential, I had the same problem, it takes about 15 minutes to install
Are both resivoirs supposed to have brake fluid in them? Because the container where you refill brake fluid is as full as it is supposed to be. So are you supposed to open the cap of empty resivoir and pour directly in? My brake light came on a couple weeks ago and i also have a spongy brake pedal. Thank you, Darin
What kind of brake problem(noise,pulling)?
No but, the brake fluid level will drop as brake pads/linings wear.
Not a problem at all.Not a problem at all.
could be a problem with the sesor in the emergency brake. a bad connection there could cause the light to blink with the vibration of the car running On some cars, the brake warning light will blink if the parking brake is set, and you drive... it could be a failed parking brake switch, assuming the brake is not applied. It is supposed to blink to get your attention. One car that does this is the Mitsubishi Starion, there are probably some others, too.
How am I supposed to know?!
The brake light is on because there is a problem with the brake system. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on. Once the problem is corrected the light will reset itself.
You need to find and fix the problem. Either your emergency brake is not completely off or you have a problem in your cars brake system. That warning light is there to warn you that a serious problem exists.
Yes you can. That is what you are supposed to use.
I had a problem with the shift lock and the problem ended up being the brake solenoid. This is a brake switch that in forms the transmission that you have your foot on the brake. If you don't heat a click when you push on the brake, I would have that checked.
