Im walking out to my car today, I get in and start to drive away. I notice that my Parking brake light is on. It then goes back off. Then as im driving along it comes back on for a brief second then goes back off. I know this is indication that I should check my brake system and brake fluid level. My question is how high should the brake fluid level be? I see where it says max but I cant seem where it says min.. Ill go out take a picture here shortly.

Also the car only has 33k miles on it. Should have a brake job done on it? Im thinking about taking it to just brakes and having them take a look at it.

You input would be appreciated.

 

Are you sure your parking brake just didn't **** up?

You know with cold weather and wind chill those cables can freeze, leaving it still activated. Idk if that has **** to do with it, but the fluid looks fine. I always fill mine up right below max, kinda in the middle I suppose.

 

I also like to try and keep mine right under the MAX line. My recommendation would be to top off your fluid, then take it for a spin and see if the light hassles you again. You would definately know if the parking brake was still applied, even slightly, 'cause the car would feel like it was *******. Top it off, give it a little time, and if it is still acting up, then take it in to be checked.

 

yeah that's the plan. Going to top it off tomorrow and just keep an eye on it.

 

time for a brake flush
