"I got out checked the master cylinder WHICH WAS WAY LOW and he then added fluid. Funny how that red brake light went out"
When you're brake fluid is "way low" it means your pads are worn out. Go get a brake job before you ruin the rotors
If I said to my husband that he needs to get the brakes checked now, he would just brush it off. So I did a Google search and found this article to print out and put before him .

My husband knows a lot about the workings of cars but he has an aversion to doing anything mechanical. I don't know how our cars ever last as long as they do. This one is an 1983 Datsun Maxima.
