Hi PPL,

I have a 1984 Mazda 323, and over the last few days the stop light on the instrument panel kept coming on everytime i pressed the brake pedal, i checked the brakes and had to change the rear brake shoes which where pretty thin, i also bled the brakes. But alas the stop light still comes on everytime i press the pedal, but disappears when i take my foot off the brake, and thoughts???

 

check your brake lights....

 

Check the brake lights and all seems ok all are working, when i put my foot down a little bit, stop Light doesnt come on, but when i press down the pedal more the stop light comes on exactly when my brake lights switch on. and ideas?

 

check your brake fluidlevel it may be to low.

 

All Fluid levels are maximum, checked all fluids after i changed the brakes and bled them. Please, keep throwing ideas at me cause i am stumped as to what it can be. Thanks.

 

Even if the level is maximum try to add some fluid. Sometimes a few drops may help.
