Had posted a couple times in here about issues with the brake light coming on intermittently. After a couple day's sitting, I noticed a puddle under the driver's door. Looked up, and found this:




This is the section of the rear brake hard line, from under the driver's door. Rusted clean through - wound up cutting it out and patching the line until I got the whole thing replaced.

Oh, and BTW - bleeding this thing's a pain in the a$$. ABS module, then calipers, then ABS module again. All to find out I had a bubble in the master cylinder, too. Must have gone through three bottles of brake fluid to do it - plus the line's 1/4", rather than 3/8".

 

oh yah road salt. they make stainless brake line. check the ends on the rubber lines?
