    I have an '04 F360 Modena that I run on the track and drive on the street. Run with regular stock tires, rims, all stock. Under high G corners whether track or street, the red brake light flickers on and off. I believe this is the same light that lights when the ABS is activated. Plenty of pad, plenty of fluid, brakes stop normal.

    Any ideas? Bad wear sensor? Is this just the caliper or pads floating? No light under braking, only during high G corners brakes not applied.

    Thanks! John

    Try disconnecting the wires to the brake reservoir cap, then drive the car to see if the light still flickers. I have seen a couple of 360s that have had problems with the built in level sensor on the cap erroneously turning on the brake light even when the fluid level is on. If this cures your light problem, try removing the cap and inspecting the movement of the level sensor. Also make sure that there is no scale buildup on the float of the sensor. Any extra weight could cause an issue as well.

    If this doesn't fix your problem, check the brake pad sensor wiring for damage.

    Hope this helps.

    Isn it just hand brake light?

    I have very occasionaly similar problem in higher speeds/corners but i never paid too much attention to this. I thought its just bad hand brake sensor , nothing with regular brakes.
