Easy maintenance today
I love it when problems are easy to solve!
My brake light has been coming on the dash of my 1999 Chevy Cavalier over the past week or two. I thought it was a wire shorting from the e-brake handle, and sometimes the light would go off if I turned a corner or something.
Nope, was low on brake fluid! Stopped in at the O'relies and got a pint and leveled it out ... problem solved. While I was at it, I checked the power steering fluid level, it was a touch low for I filled that up too. Followed by wiper fluid and a quart of Valvoleen synthetic and we're running good again. Total cost, $15. Now I think I'll drive to the car wash place and vacuum her out and spend some time detailing the dash and cleaning up the seats.
Funny how something simple like regular maintenance can make you feel like you did something major. lol
