Stumped here. Changed the alternator and now the dashboard brake warning light is lit all the time. I followed the recommended procedure, removing the wheel bearing, CV joint/halfshaft, this went just fine.
Symptom/reproduce:
-Insert key and turn to run, brake warning light is lit.
-Turn Key to start, car starts brake light blinks once or twice VERY RAPIDLY then remains lit, but brighter than when engine is not running.
-Car stops just fine, there are no puddles or leaks anywhere.
Troubleshooting:
-Checked brake fluid level, it was fine, added just the smallest amount to be sure, no change.
-Removed R front wheel and checked wheel sensor wire for possible damage during alternator repair..nothing obvious.
-removed the brake fluid level sensor connector..no change in behavior of the light
-with fluid level sensor disconnected, all light behavior is the same.
-while disconnected, shorted the 2 connectors on the fluid level sensor. The light did not blink and remained lit at the same level after starting the engine.
Any ideas?
