I just noticed that the brake warning is on. It must have come on when I was bleeding the brakes after flushing and adding new brake fluid.
I can find nothing in the owners manual about how to reset it.

Does anyone know how?

Clay, not sure there is a reset. Make sure you have enough fluid in the reservoir of the master cylinder. I assume this is the brake warning, and not the ABS light. There is a float inside the reservoir, wiring harness plugs into float assy at lower front of reservoir. On my coach the brake warning light is the same as the parking brake light, so might want to make sure your park brake is completely released.

Boy do I feel stupid!

The parking brake was on as it always is when we are parked.
I should have known that the parking brake indicator and the brake fault light is the same light. It did go out when I released the parking brake as it should have.

Thank you very much for pointing that out.

I feel better about heading to ID in the morning.

I guess I was a little gun shy after just flushing the system and bleeding the brakes.

Clay, don't beat yourself up to much, it's amazing what the human brain will conjure up when you have a "perceived' problem.
