These Dash Gremlins are driving me nuts! On my 99' C5! For the past couple thousand miles I have had the brake light on the dash flash on and off while driving it, sometimes not even while im on the brakes. Recently I have seen the "low brake fluid" light come on. I believe last year I may have replaced the Brake fluid level sensor... anything else to try or is there a hard way to reset it besides hitting "reset" button. I don't believe it is loosing fluid, the reservoir is full... and the brakes feel nice and tight.HELP!

Have you ever bled them, and if so, did you release the pedal too quickly? This can set the piston position to turn on the brake light on the dash.

Any code that is followed by the h... is a HISTORY code and may or may not have any significant relevance to what problems your having with your car currently... if any.
Thus do what 8vette7 says to do and he will help you find and fix your issues...

You made a GREAT move coming to the Tech forum and you are in GOOD hands...

Here is the brake light, it comes on and off quite often when driving randomly. That is what I mean by flashing. It could pop up for less than a min and then shut off.

awww that sounds great. But that is not one of my codes is it? I will read that and hopefully that is the issue, seams like an test/easy fix I could do my self. Thanks ill keep you posted.
