Brake Problems

[SHO Anitor]

I have changed my brakes before but this last time when I was bleeding my brakes by myself and let the master cylinder drain completley. OOps . doh

Well now by brake light does not come on when I press the brake pedal. I have to floor the brake pedal to make the light come on. I tried to bleed them again thinking air got into the accumealator. Any opinions on this would really be helpful. I kind of the doit yourself mechanic and have never ran into this problem before. I need to correct ASAp before someone hits me from behind. Thanks

Your brake lights have nothing to do with the fluid. Your brake lights are on a switch on the pedal itself. You may need a new BOO switch. If you let the master cylinder get dry you will just have to bleed and bleed till all the air is out of the system and the petal becomes firm again.
Ps try posting in the right section next time.
