hard to either left or right, specially right. as soon as I finish making a turn the brake light goes away. Got any idea what it could be? By the way, I have a 95 S14.

fist of all your title makes it sound like your break light is falling out every time you turn so i would say just glue it in lol

next the description you wrote could be just your break fluid being low or your break fluid light sensor loose on your break fluid res.

or check your e-break sensor next to the e-brake, could be that is loose

ight, I noticed that the brake reservoir or however u spell it lol it was right in the middle of max and low, so I diceded to fill it up all the way up to max and the brake light has not showed up again : S

Maybe is it because on Z32 brake master cylinders needed to have their reservoir filled up all the way to max? who knows...

cool. hopefully it stays off :dblthumb:

just remember that brake fluid does not compress because its basically hydrolic fluid and stays solid

so if your brake fluid is low than it might be your brake pads are getting thinner, when you change your brake pads make sure that the fluid in the res. doesnt overflow when you push the cylinder back into the caliper. keep an eye on the level when you do a brake job and remove some brake fluid if you have to
