[s-cars] Brake light, still on!

[Kirby Smith]

Be sure your brake fluid is up high enough to be in the cup under the
cap.  Be sure your hydraulic fluid is a bit higher than maximum.  Be
sure your filter in the hydraulic reservoir is clean.  Do a similar test
with the switch in the cap of the hydraulic reservoir.  This light can
also stay on if the hydraulic fluid pressure is low via a sensor on the
master brake booster.  Maybe your hydraulic pump has lost its
performance.
