Anti-lock brake light comes on - any clues?

[Fairlaniac]

My red "Brake" light on the dash comes on occasiaonally and a few seconds later the yellow "Anti-Lock" light comes on while driving. If I tap the brake pedal they both go out. After a while, usuall after I've used the brakes again the same thing happens, tap the brake pedal and out the go until some random time down the road. Any clues what is going on?

Thanks,

Check your brake fluid level....When it is low, the Brake light along with the ABS light will come on.

good call

Master cylinder was low so I figured the fluid was lost somewhere. RR wheel cylinder was leaking. I'm still old school, the brakes are bad when the pedal hits the floor. I'm not ue to the aint-lock light on the dash.

Thanks!

No prob! Glad you got it squared away!

If your brake fluid is that low you might be half a step from needing new brake pads and shoes somewhere =>
