Replaced a seized rear brake cylinder on my 2016 three wheeler.
Bled the brakes. Brakes are good, but the "brake failure" light will come on and flash a few times ever once in a while.
I don't have to be braking for the light to come on.
master cylinder is full. What triggers this light and what is it trying to say.

Thanks

Put more fluid in the master, drove it today and it flickered once. Checked the level, it looked full, but I noticed that the max fill line is above the seam in the tank, you can barely read it. I filled it to that level, and did not get any flickering on a 20 minute ride. The switch appears to be very sensitive to fill level. Also as a note, there is a test button on the lid to the master cylinder reservoir. If you push the button with the ignition on, the brake failure light will illuminate. Cheers to all for the help.
