a lot of times a violent repedative application of brake petal will push the air bubble down the line and turn the light off.

one of the reasons that your brake idiot lite will stay on is if the brake differential switch is not centered... this is a valve that monitors the front and back brakes so that if one side looses fluid the valve will go to one side and stay there turning on your lite... sometimes if you loose just alittle bit of fluid and pour some back in it will come on and stay on until you let some out of the other side... so you might look at bleading your brakes and see if it turns your lite off...

Hope this all makes sense to someone other then me...

That's true. An easier way to get it situated though is to just push on the brake really hard, and you should hear a pop or feel a thump. But sometimes the valves will stick to one side (gummed up with junk), and will require your method to get it going again. But chances are you might unstick it one way and cause it to stick the other! :mad2:

Only problem with that, is if the valve is to one side or the other, it has that side of the brakes shut off - IE you only have half of your brakes.
