Question BRAKE warning light, 1990 C2 911

My BRAKE warning light goes pretty much every time I drive my car. It seems it happens 3-4 minutes after I get going, and it happens as I'm cruising or driving, not necessarily while braking (my brake fluid level is correct.)

What can I do to diagnose this problem?

Thanks!

Umm, probably need to check/replace your brake pads.
There is a sensor mounted on the pads that "warns" you when they are worn out.

There is a separate brake pad warning light.

Check your handbrake. There is a sensor below it that triggers the light.

Also check ur brake fluid level

Or possibly the brake fluid level float switch? Another would be the brake pressure switch connections located under the front bonnet or the pressure switch itself.

Just my 2 Scheckles...Good Luck with Your Fix, Brother!

Best Regards,

Tony
