Brake Warning Light

[brassman]

Hi I Have A 2002 Tauras Ses.the Brake Light On Dash Would Go On Once In A While. I Knew The Front Bads Were Worn So I Thought Maybe This Was A Warning Sensor. Anyway Changed Front Pads And Now The Light And Buzzer Stays On All The Time.is There A Sensor I Need To Reset. My Car Was Preowned And I Did Not Get Manual. Maybe Someone Will Know The Answer Before I Pull Off Rear Wheels And Check Drum Pads Ty

What buzzer are you referring to? The same chime that would sound if you left the key in the ignition and opened a door?

Is it the ABS light or the Brake light? Have you checked the fluid level in the master cylinder?

sorry the red brake light and the chimes does sound the same as if you leave off seat belt. chime goes away after 5 minutes of driving but light stays on. fluid level is a little high just changed front pads.

I trust you made sure the parking brake is not partially engaged. Does the chime remain on constant for the 5 minutes, or is it a series of dings? Does the SRS/airbag light come on when you turn the key to the run position for the normal bulb test?
