Default Re: The red brake light?

IIRC, the light is triggered by any of these three items:

Hydraulic fluid level
Brake fluid level
Hydraulic pressure

The floats can sometimes stick on the 1st two items. The pressure sensor plug is back behind the master cylinder. Failure is usually the bomb/accumulator.

Did you seal your hydraulic pump?
Was that a tough job?

Red light is on continuously, even after running the engine and stepping on the pedal some?

Check that the sensors in the hydraulic reservoir cap and brake fluid cap are intact.

Check that the parking brake handle is not raised.
