[Shotimes] More brakes woes!!

[Steve Weinrich]

Check the rubber line going to the caliper.

The bracket where the line is mounted has been know to rust on the inside,
causing the line to pinch closed.

There is a float switch in the brake fluid reservoir that turns on the BRAKE
light when the fluid level is low just as you suspected.
