Hey guys , im a lil bit concerned. My brakes started going bad, which i knew i had to get new ones, But now one day my brake light came on along with its function of braking is now diff. And now when i brake i have to use about 80% of my brake pedal in order for it to actually slow down my car. when i go driving and get out my brakes are really hot. And with that my eBrake works alot better, its like they two swapped or something.. i just need some help.. oh and i put brake fuild in and nothing happened :(

When you say you need new brakes, did u just mean pads or...? The light won't come on when you need pads or rotors. It's sounds like you have air in your brake lines, or something more serious like a booster or master cylinder is on it's last days.\"a civic is like a tampon...every pussy has one\" -
If I recall correctly, the "brake" light means one of three things:
-your e-brake is on
-your brake fluid is low
-you have a SERIOUS braking system failure, and only half of the brake system is working now.
It sounds like you're in category three. I wouldn't fool around with this if I were you. Get it taken care of. Replacing the wear parts of the braking system is not difficult on our cars-- just have someone around who has done a brake job before. Unfortunately, it sounds like your problem may be more serious than that...\'00 f-bird 3.8 M5 coupe, pewter metallic<br />Torsen LSD, Pro 5.0 shifter, Spec stage 1 clutch, Y87 muffler, aftermarket stereo<br />-more fun than the Oldsmobile it replaced...Comment

Maybe air in the lines, but like mentioned above; Don't play around with this! If your brakes give-out, your F'd at any speed!sigpicComment

Thnks guys for your help, i appreciate it alot. For some reason i went away yesterday. i cleaned my motor(wipped off dirt), added coolent, a lil bit of oil, added gas treatment, and put windsheild wiper fluid.... then i accidentally drove for about 20 sec with my eBrake up, realized it (while driving), then put it down, and the light was gone and my braking was back to normal [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] ...weird, but thanks again!95 White Camaro<br />3.4L, T-Tops<br />80 series Flowmaster w/ 3Nhalf tips<br />To Be Continue...Comment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
