warning light help

[neil_g]

got an odd light on the dash of the 406. flickers when i brake in relation to the speed im doing when i brake.

to bare in mind:

* ive just had new disks and pads all round
* one of the hand brake mechs has just been rebuild
* one of the rear calipers has just been unsiezed
* its just been serviced
* there is a LOT of water on the road
* its not the ABS light



any ideas??

its the brake wear indicator

when i had my brakes changed ( i was away from home, would usually do it myself) they didnt tuck the wiring back in and it then rubbed against the wheel and shorted

I wouldnt worry

[neil_g]

thanks raah.. i was hoping it was something silly

phew

also, hold in your mileage reset button, turn the ignition on, hold it down until the countdown finishes

that resets your service light (gets rid of the spanner) and counts down from 12000

[neil_g]

yeah i know i keep forgetting lol

also, if you hold down the light dimmer switch and do the same procedure it puts the car into \"Sports\" mode

As already said.
Probably wear indicator cables not plugged in correctly.
1 brake pad has a longer cable than the other. If you put the pads on the wrong side of the disk it wont reach properly. Get them swapped around.

also, if you hold down the light dimmer switch and do the same procedure it puts the car into \"Sports\" mode

dunno what the button is, I never found it. Do any of you guys want an omp upper strut brace it adds at least 20bhp.

Ive now bought a gas guzzler, so the 406 is going to be going up for sale soon. if anyone wants wants the brace it supposedly helps with tyre wear on the 406\'s. 406 is going for £1250ono if anyne is interested.
