Default BRAKE warning light on
My BRAKE light came on today. I checked the brake fluid - OK & the brake pads are good. Any ideas where to look next?

Its the brake pad sensor. What model and year MINI do you have. The sensor could have failed. There is one in the front left of the MINI and one in the rear right. If it trips, it goes before your pads are all the way worn down.

Examples of what they look like:
Front



&

Rear




They set in the side of the inboard brake pads.

Thanks

Will a faulty 3rd brake light cause the brake light on the dash to stay on?
