brake warning light
My brake warning light (not brake lamp)keeps coming on when I first drive the car in the morning, but as soon as its warmed up from driving 10-15 minutes it goes out. Any suggestions? My brakes rotors and pads were replaced 1 month ago, and no abs light comes on.

Brake warning light means low brake fluid. I had this happen to me in the winter but the brake fluid was fine. I opened the cap and put it back on and the light went away. Check your brake fluid and close the cap and see what happens. Ive noticed the SVX does alot of strange things when its cold.

Mine did that. I took off the cap and pushed the bladder up into the lid. It's been fine since then. Also had the problem on the 91 Legacy.

Happens mine too from time to time, even though there is plenty of fluid in the reservoir. I blame the white plastic float for sticking, but maybe the rubber bladder thing is keeping it down.

Well OK......
But if there are any women to fix, I'm jiggling the floats!
