Car could have been out and running today for the first time, but the Brake light decided to pop up.
Couple weeks back I patiently and carefully gravity bled the brakes, hoping that I'd have a better pedal feel this year. The car was still disassembled at that point so when I was done I couldn't start the engine to check the pedal feel.
Today I finally flicked the key, heard the powermaster motor and was satisfied when it kicked off in about 12 seconds, thought everything would be good. Thought the Brake light would go off once I started the car but it remained on and the pedal goes to the floor fairly easily.
I noticed the fluid got pretty low once the accumulator pumped up, but don't think there's any fluid level mechanism on these cars to trigger the light.
I know Brake light on and pedal to the floor would generally be a shot accumulator but it would be a coincidence if all that happened while the car was stored for winter and I bled the brakes.
