Brakes on 96 Ford Taurus, brake warning light on, recently had front and rear completely done?

Question

The front brakes had new pads and new rotors installed, on the rear I had new pads new rotors and new calipers put on the rotors are all new not resurfaced. Why is my brake warning light starting to come on and it now stays on. I spent hundreds of dollars on this. Professional answers would be very helpful.

Answer 1

Take your car back where you had your brakes done and ask them to recheck - it could be unsafe to drive, the fluid could leak out or something else. Call them first, may be your car needs to get towed if the light is on, it could be because of brake fluid level being low. If it's too low the car won't have any brakes.

Answer 2

There is a pressure equalizer switch on the master cylinder. They will fail eventually. They equalize the pressure of the front and rear brakes so your car will brake evenly on both axles. It is a minor repair and the switch should be available at your local parts house. Good luck.

Answer 3

Could possibly be some air trapped in the line or low fluid. Might need to have your brakes bled again by the person you paid to do the work in the first place because they failed to do thier job completly

Answer 4

check your brake fluid level and or float device in the reservoir. Wire to the float might be disconnected. And make sure your parking brake is fully released. 10 yrs auto experience Certified Acura tech.

Answer 5

Look at the inside of the tires under the car for leaks.
Some moron may not have tightened one of the bleeder screws.
