Default Installed RCA's and LS400 BBk... now BRAKE light is on!!! HELP

I installed the Exact Motorsports RCA's and the LS400 bbk on my 98 GS400 and now I have the brake light on... I need help resolving this issue please.

The RCA's obviously have nothing to do with it... they just allowed me to install the bbk with no clearance issues...

And YES... I checked to make sure the E-brake was NOT on....


Thanks,
Marcus

Check your brake fluid level. If it's low, fill it up again.

Yes...


I will check the level when I lower the car back down.. I checked it when the car was in the air ( on all four corners and pretty much level) So I'll check again when I get it back down.


I adjusted the coilovers to a set point and when I put it back down the car was SLAMMED in the front!!! he he... but waaay to low to drive it. So I have it back up in the air now to raise the coilovers... which is a PITA btw... anyone have a good way of doing it? the "spring perch" is so hard to tun when compressing the spring!!! i.e. making the car go up/ raising the coilovers

Cool, does your upper control arm hit the wheel well while driving?

Check to see if you accidentally stretched out your ABS line or damaged one of the sensors. Thats what happened to me.
