Yesterday after the fun run I went back to MikeD's place for a little while and when I left, after about the 3rd stop my pedal suddenly went to the floor (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) and the brake light started flashing. Brakes pumped up okay and after about 25 miles on I-5 came bake completely but the light still flashes. Stopped the car when it first happened to see if I was leaking fluid from somewhere but couldn't find any.
Ideas? |

Symptoms don't indicate a line. When a line fails, you lose braking and it rarely comes back until you do the repair. Master cylinders can fail by bypassing internally, and there will be no fluid loss when that happens. it may come back and work well for some time, only to fail again. Sooner or later, that can result in the use of a fixed object, or another moving one, for stopping your uncontrolled progress. The Cap'n
