Brake light on, Not ABS Light
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 1:03 PM
I just finished repairing a brake line, the car (97 Sunfire) has been sitting for about 8 months.

i noticed that the front bleeder screw on the ABS master was bone dry, after someone helped me bleed the system, brake fluid flowed through all the 6 bleeder valves even the one that was bone dry. But the BRAKE light wont turn off!, the e-brake is down, so its not that. and the ABS light does not come on, only for that first second when i start the car.

Any input on what it might be?

What is the fluid level like in the master cylinder? it might just have either a bad switch on the ebrake or a bad sensor on the master cylinder.
