Q:Used power steering fluid instead of proper brake fluid

This is a good time to take it in for a brake system flush which you need eventually anyways to extend the life of the braking system hydraulic components. Make sure that the technician doesn't just bleed the brakes and that all the brake fluid is flushed and new installed.

Q:Brake.Abs light is on too. Serious help needed

ABS light only comes on when #1 you broke the tooth ring on the front wheel drive axle #2 Wheel sensor went bad #3 Loss of brake capability.

Q:I‘ve noticed the parking brake indicator lighting up when turning left, its happening consistently at the same turn every day on my communte in the afternoon. It came on once in the morning also. I jostled the parking brake, but it was not set, nor anywhere near set. Considering the spedometer is not functional, I‘m wondering if all the instrumentation is just going, or is there a problem with my brakes? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Your brake fluid is a little low, top it off and have the brakes checked soon.

Q:My brake petal went straight to the floor. why?

Sounds like you have lost your brake fluid either from one of your brake cylinders or your master cylinder. look behind each wheel to see if you have a leak. The master will be under the bonnet check to see if there is any fluid left in it. It is also possible a brake pipe may have broken.

Q:2000 Golf GLS 2.0. If I buy my own brakes and rotors, will my brake sensor light automatically turn off or do I have to get it reset some how?

On most cars there's two brake warning lights. One is for the braking system itself, the other for the ABS. Without knowing which one you're talking about its hard to say. In most cases if the ABS light (usually yellow) is on it an indication that there's an issue with that system and generally speaking needing rotors and pads would not trip it. If its the one for the actual braking system (red) it could mean there's a leak in the hydraulic system, the fluid is low, or there's a problem with either one of the lines, a caliper or the master cylinder. In some cases replacement of the rotors or pads might turn it off but its doubtful. On most cars once an issue is repaired the lights go off on their own with no need for any reset.

Q:I’m currently doing some research so I hope you guys can really help me out here.Mercedes Benz has a two system (i think) for their braking lights, one is that they it will be ON (as what we normally see) when normal braking is applied (slowing down or stopping) and two (which is their newest system) is that they will FLASH (I think for the 3rd brake light) when emergency braking is applied. How do they do that? Do they work with the speed sensors or pressure applied to the brake pedal or what? How is it done?

In case the driver heavily pushes the brake pedal, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) automatically activates the Adaptive Brake Light system. As a result, the brake lights are now flashing at a frequency of 3 Hz instead of keeping the same intensity as long as the driver presses the pedal. This makes the car easier noticeable and informs the following drivers of a potential hazard ahead. Once the driver releases the brake pedal, the ESP automatically turns off the function and the flash lights work just as normal.

Q:I put brake fluid in and the light went off for about 30 minutes then came back on. Just wondering what may be the problem. Also when the car is put in reverse it sometimes jerks before reversing or sometimes it rolls forward and I have to hit the brake and then try to reverse it, not sure what this problem is either. Oh yeah and I forgot the check engine light keeps coming on and off, and a few weeks ago I put in oil and then today I checked fluids and I had to put a whole thing of oil in because it was so low on oil. I am just a girl who knows nothing about cars and don‘t have $$ also if it helps someone answer this the car has about 200,000 miles on it. Please someone tell me what issue could be.

The gears are not engaging automatically. The E-Brake cable might need to be adjusted

Q:Already replaced break booster, master cylinder, 2 wheel cylinders, checked the brake calibers and all the lines and the brake pedal still goes down to the floor. Please help me with any suggestions of what it could be. Anything will be greatly appreciated.

does it have abs ? or a r.a.b. valve?

Q:what is the use of a transistor in antilock brakes for your car? answer please i need for essay. :]thnks

There will be a lot of transistors but all hidden inside integrated circuits. There will be a pulse amplifier from each wheel and something that detects lock conditions and compares all the wheels and a servo to deactivate the brakes until lock is released. Are you sure you didn't mean transducer? That would be a more interesting question.

Q:I have a bmx mongoose bike and the handbrakes broke. The brake pads are basically glued to the tire on the back. I tried to fix it but couldn't get anything to work so I took the back brake pads off. I was wondering besides paying for a new brake system could I move the back pedal brake part from a new wheel I just got to my other back wheel on my bike? The back pedal wheel does not fit on my bike so is there a simple way with tools that I can switch it? Thanks.

trust me just get a new brake system its ver complicated to do what you saying and if your talking about pedal brakes they are kinda useless ever though they dont really brake just go to a bike store and to a sporting goods store and ask for new brakes or cables its most likly the cables and even a whole new brake system it wont cost over probably 50$ for a good one for a mongoose well depends on where you go
