My 1999 Accord brake light won't go away even after I refilled the brake fluid. Is there any other problem for the light to come on beside low level of fluid. I know my rear brake pad is low (10% left) and one tail light need to be replace. Is this the cause of the warning light? Thanks for any response.

the tail light alone could be the problem. if i were you and you live where is snows, get rear brakes before winter. front brakes alone will not stop you in the snow.

Suggested Repair

Check and replace the failed tail light, which alone can keep the brake warning light on. Also replace the worn rear brake pads (about 10% remaining), especially before winter if the car is driven in snow.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1999 Honda Accord says the brake warning light stays on after the brake fluid was refilled. Rear pads are nearly worn out and one tail light needs replacement. The expert says the tail light alone could cause the warning and advises replacing the rear brakes before winter if the vehicle is driven in snow.
