Thanks to those who responded to my problem of my EV's dashboard brake warning light coming on during acceleration. Two suggested that there was inadequate brake fluid in the reservior. Although I checked this out before, after taking a second look, I realized that the reservoir is "tilted" toward the front of the vehicle and, while the fluid was a bit low, upon acceleration or going uphill, the fluid was flowing to the rear of the reservoir and away from the sender. Fixed now. Glad it was something simple. MJ Vickey 85 DblCab PickUp 87 Syncro blue 87 Syncro gray 91 Westfalia blue 93 Eurovan MV/Westfalia white 93 Eurovan MV red |
