Make sure to wipe off the lid before you unscrew it so you don't get and contaminants in there. Add some good Dot 4 fluid to the full line and the light will go off. <p>[ November 15, 2002: Message edited by: cjthor ]

lol...ah, to be young again.<P>I made that same mistake with coolant on my dad's sunbird. Make sure to get the good DOT4 stuff for the car too; not jsut any brake fluid

I hope this solves your prob. It usually does bout 99 percent of the time. The sensor in the reservoir shifts durng a turn and the car thinks its lost some fluid. <BR> Moved to the faq forum.
