Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2005Still trying to find faq on brake light warning and master cylinder fix.
Still trying to find faq on brake light warning and master cylinder fix. Some helpful person said there was a faq by Honda a few months ago, but its expired. I cant find anything. Anyone know the fix for these damn intermittent lights? > Still trying to find faq on brake light warning and master cylinder fix. > Some helpful person said there was a faq by Honda a few months ago, but > its expired.

To clarify: the handbrake warning light is on any time the ignition is on, and that started the same time the brake system warning light began doing the same thing? If so, it makes me suspect a problem with the wiring (although there could be other explanations). Sometimes rodents will get into a car and gnaw on the wires.

Check the condition of the wires.

IE clean contacts and correct wattage lights, fluid level in brake cylinder reservoir ok. Reed switch disconnected and checked with multi meter at reservoir, no problem, float Switch is not filled with brake fluid and works normally. This was left disconnected and lights still come on. Similarly the transmission switch wont let the engine start in park at times, and sometimes in neutral. This appears mainly when cold weather hits (not too much of that about)and on first start during day mainly. I reckon it could be wiring, but where do you start looking? Bad Earth? Terminal under console. The wife just freaks out, despite nothing being wrong... >>> The brake light warning and handbrake light come on at the same time >>> Model 1988 [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Terminal under console.

Do they count? >> Still trying to find faq on brake light warning and master cylinder fix. >> Some helpful person said there was a faq by Honda a few months ago, but [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > There are certain TSBs for certain cars.

They come on intermittently, and seems to be more sensitive on wet days (bad connection? earths?) The master cylinder switch has been disabled, but were still checking. It doesn't seem to make a difference.
