[Shotimes] Brake Idiot Light On Because I'm an Idiot and a Grounding Questio n

[Donald Mallinson]

JB,

Of more concern than your electrical connection is where did 
all that brake fluid go?  The brake system is one of the 
best sealed systems on the car, and if you were this low, 
you probably have a leak somewhere.

Try to get your car up on a hoist and give it a careful look 
with a bright light.  only so many places where it can leak. 
  A small leak that becomes a big one could be the differnce 
between stopping the next time you come off the interstate 
and going through the guard rail!
