So here I am after a crappy day at work, taking the Charger out for a drive through the hills & forests around the city to vent. Some time after I started driving hard, I saw the Brake light flashing when upshifting from 1st to 2nd @ 6k rpm. Then, I saw it coming on and staying on when I was more than 50% on the throttle. First suspicion was low brake fluid level, babied it home, and sure enough it was low on the front brake fluid reservoir. If it matters, I have the drum brake master cylinder, 73-76 11" discs, and the factory booster.
Now comes the wtf part, filled the reservoir to the brim, and took it for a drive - same symptoms. No puddle under the car. Brakes were working fine all the time.
Anybody care to explain exactly how the brake warning system works? Could it be an electrical thing, and not related to the hydraulic circuit?
