i have a 90 civic lx sedan 4dr does anybody know how to get the check brake light out in the guage cluster > i have a 90 civic lx sedan 4dr does anybody know how to get the check brake > light out in the guage cluster That's a mystery that just came up with me in my 90 civic. The hand brake light stays on sometimes until I drive over bumps, but I'm not sure what actually makes it go out. >>i have a 90 civic lx sedan 4dr does anybody know how to get the check brake >>light out in the guage cluster > > That's a mystery that just came up with me in my 90 civic.

I thought the light was just for the hand brake. My fluid is probably low because I'm almost due for new pads.

I replaced the brakeMC in my Integra with a reman that was exactly like the OEM,and it used the reservoir and cap from the old MC;I've had no problems with it.

Are all your brake lamps working? I beieve you do not have ABS on that year auto.

No ABS in that era. Alan i think u can disconnect the wires to the master cylinder cap also but then you have no warning over low brake fluid but it does make the light go out. -jeff >> Check brake fluid level? >> Are all your brake lamps working?
