PROBLEM SOLVED

So I determined I could make the light go out by jumpering the plug to level float. After that I just drained and throughly cleaned the reservoir and refilled. No light now! Thanks for your guy's help.

I still think it's gotta have something to do with the brake reservoir sensor. Is there a seperate 'parking brake' light on an S40? It could also be a bad sensor for that if it thinks it's pulled up. yeah there is a parking break light as well. I'll try taking the plug off and check the sensor for ...

OK so i bleed the brakes, lights still on.

Went by the autoparts store and had in scanned for codes. I guess the brakes not something that throws a code, because its clean.

Anyone other thoughts? These volvos seem to be a lot quarkier than the subarus and toyotas i'm used too.

I looked to see if the connector was loose, but no luck there. Is this light something i can take to auto-parts store, and have the code scanned?

I've always changed the fluid this way in my cars whenever i do a brake job. I wasn't doing a brake job though, i just had some dot4(fresh) left over from another car so i figured i might as well use it...... I don't think i took enough out to let air in the system. I'll try bleeding the brakes when...

I used a turkey baster (clean and new) today to change the brake fluid on my wifes 2000 V40. Now the dash brake light is on. any thoughts?

Thanks,
