Hi all, my brake light comes on for a few mins. periodically (2000 Accord Ex V6). The fluid isn't low. Anyone know what else in the brake system can be indicated by the light, apart from the fluid? Thanks, Rog

Mine is an 97 Nissan Altima SE. It runs fine, but recently I see that the brake light on the dashboard comes on during mornings when it is cold. It does not come on in the afternoon or in the evenings. Only in the morning, it does. I live in Atlanta, which is not too cold. I got my brake inspection...

I recently bought a 1998 Honda Civic DX and discovered that my brake lights are not working. I began troubleshooting the problem by first replacing the brake light switch (under the brake pedal) which didn't help and then replaced the third brake light bulb (which was burnt out) but that didn't...

Hi, I have a V6 2000 Honda Accord and yesterday saw that the brake lights, doors lights and the trunk light all stay on after starting the engine. This persisted for some time and then went away. I hear a "humming" sound now which I think changes with the rpm. Has anybody seem similar problem and...

my daughter has a 1991 civic and the brake lites stay on all the time. i figure a brake lite switch. can anyone tell me the color codes and purposes of the wiring going to/from the brake lite switch? or a wiring diagram would be great. thanx

I am renewing the pads in my 1999 accord but cannot get the piston to retract to enable the new (thicker) pads to fit. Any idea's what to do? Thanks Richard

For the first time ever, I checked the thickness variation of my 1991 Civic's front brake rotors (NON-abs). I used a micrometer whose calibration I trust. It actually reads to the nearest 0.0001 inch, but I have rounded to the nearest 0.001 inch below. The minimum thickness required on these rotors...

Hi all: I'm anticipating the front brake pads on my 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid will have to be replaced soon. What's the differences (pros/cons) between semi-metallic and ceramic pads? W hich one should I consider? Do brand names (e.g. Raybestos) really make a difference? Thanks for any input!

If I press on the brake pedal of my 2002 CR-V with moderate but steady pressure, I can get the pedal to go all the way to the floor. I replaced the master cylinder and the pedal still acts the same. I am curious how many other owners can get their brake pedal to fade to the floor if they try. Try...

I just had the rear calipers replaced on my '95 civic si. I immediately noticed when braking that my brake pedal seemed to sink about twice as far to the floor as it used to. I've owned this car since new and have never experienced this much brake pedal travel. The e-brake also pulls all the way...

Brake pedal sinks partially when applied going down a hill at slow speed. A pump or two will bring it back up. This has been going on for a few weeks. No noticible loss of fluid in brake reservoir. Could a faulty booster cause this? Car is 94 Accord wagon w/ABS brakes. Phil

1994 honda accord EX - I removed the left rear caliper and noticed that one half of the inner pad was glazed and the other half was brand new. Could this indicate a bad caliper.

I have a 1999 1.6 Civic Vti Coupe with which I am having brake problems. It has done 39k miles and went into my local Honda dealer to have the pads changed when the right rear wear indicator started to contact the disc. Front and rear were changed. When the car went in to the dealer the brakes were...

Are the brake disk retaining screws necessary? I had to drill mine out and one source said they are only in there to hold the disc in place during assembly at the factory. As usual, thanks in advance. -- Pull my chain to reply.

First, thanks muchly for the FAQ, an invaluable tool! Question regarding performing maintenance on the front calipers (2003 Accord 4-door sedan, I4/AT): From the FAQ: "Now we have to remove the two 12mm bolts that hold the caliper to its bracket through the slide pins" The Helm manual says to...

Was replacing the pads on my 99 Accord and had some difficulty pressing the rear brake pistons back. The rear brake pistons are somewhat different from front pistons. They have a slot in them. I ended up turning the piston clockwise using a larger screwdriver (in the slot) in order to get it...

I have a 98 Civic DX that I have been rebuilding for the past year. I took the car to two mechanic shops, and both stated that the brakes needed replacement, front and rear. I live in an area where the winter snow and salt cause heavy corrosion. This week I replaced rear drums, shoes and...

Rear brakes on my 98 prelude are close to the metal. I saw a tutorial on the web for Acura disk replacement. I thought it was well done as it talked about cleaning the slider bolts. Can't find it now. Anybody know the site address? thanks
