Hi

Don't drive this until it has been checked out!!!, sounds like you have a hydraulic brake pressure unbalance, possibly a failed brake circuit.

Check fluid levels next and look for leaks.

wish i could drive it ,lol,,,,, its a race motorhome that i converted, nearing the end of it now.
i had to change all the steel brake lines and re bleed the brakes as well as a new cailiper
i have checked all the joints and had the pedel wedged down for 1/2 hour under pressure . i've read on web about air actuators have switches that stick due to re bleeding brakes , i also did away with the pad wear indicators as they all broke on removal so i unplugged them could that be the problem !!!

cheers dave

Hi

I take it this is a Ford chassis ? if so there is a circuit differential pressure sensor in the o/s chassis. I suspect you still have some air in the system

The brake sensor wires at least have to be joined together as it relies on a complete circuit to put the light out , also you should have two font cylinders in the chassis and one rear inside the chassis these have excess movement sensors so if ir is present in any one of them the light will come or if the pads are low . I have had ones tat the light will stay on until driven backwards at slow speed and brake applied a few times , give these a try
