brake light on dash stuck on

Depending on the type of ABS system, you either purge as if it was an old
school type or use a scan tool to cycle the ABS. My lw300 uses a straight
through flow ABS and can be bleed without any fancy tools. Other types have
a small reservioir within the ABS module (pump and solenoids) that require
it to be cycled in order to bleed out all old fluid and air.

Oh yes, and the car DOES have ABS.
Not sure how that changes things, though.

If it's a problem with the blake fluid level sensor, it's possible that
some
crud that got the float stuck. IIRC, the float is magnetic and rides over
magnetic sensor. Try giving the reservoir a good rap to see if it gets
unstuck. Can't say for sure if the tank detatches from the master cylinder
to allow cleaning.

No, it's not low. I filled it up after the brakes were bled.

You were refering to the connector attatched to the sensor in the brake
reservoir right? Thats a fluid level sensor... Either it see's fluid,
doesnt see fluid, or is faulty.

This car DOES have a diagonal braking system- I assume all Saturns
do. As a matter of fact I think all GM front wheel cars have had
diagonal braking systems since they first introduced the front wheel
drive X body cars in 1980.

That lay out, diagonal split system, was determined to be the safest
overall. If one piston was to fail you will still have one front wheel
and one rear wheel on opposite sides stopping you. If you locked up just
the rear wheels or one side of the car you will almost certainly loose
control of the vehicle.- Hide quoted text -
