[s-cars] Brake light stays on.

[Jack Gagnon]

Hello All,

I finally got around to fixing my car.  A new bomb and a flush of the system
has solved the problem.

I got the Bomb and fluid from Force5auto.com for a reasonable price and was
able to do the rest myself. Yippee!

Thanks to all who helped!

Jack

Jack,

When you find out what is the root cause please let us know.  I am in the
2-3 year "honeymoon period" of the light just staying on for awhile after
startup in the morning (usually about 1 minute).

Hello,

I am having trouble with my 92 S4.  The brake light does not go off no mater
how long I run the car.  It used to stay on for 10-30 seconds in the morning
and then stay off for the rest of the day.  It behaved like this for about
two-three years of use.

Just yesterday, it decided to stay on for good and I don't have power brakes
after the first or second application of the brakes.  I suspect the
hydraulic pump, but the steering feels fine and I cracked the high pressure
line and the fluid squirts out just fine.

Could it be a stuck valve pressure relief valve in the bomb?  Is it the
servo in the master cylinder? or is it the pump.  I can feel the brake pedal
pulsate a little when the assist is used up.


I have a bad feeling that this on could cost me a lot of money if it is not
diagnosed properly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Jack
