#26 of 31 Re: Brake light problems with regal custom [petegreb] by mech21 Dec 12, 2008 (11:08 am)
Replying to: petegreb (Nov 23, 2008 10:27 am) It could be in the turn signal switch. On our '94 Regal, if you pull the turn signal toward you slightly (stopping short of switching to high beam headlights) as you press the brake pedal, the main brake lights come on. I can't offer any tips to disassemble the steering column to fix or replace the switch...haven't tried it yet.
#27 of 31 Regal Rear Brake Issues by armes Apr 27, 2009 (5:16 pm)
I have worked on several Regal ( 1996 ) which had premature wear and bad rotors on one or both sides. From what I have been able to determine, the problem lies with the design of the caliper slide system. All problems I discovered were related to the top caliper slide bolts. This is the one which is covered by the cap and is inset into the caliper.   Every vehicle which had problems had locked slides due to the top bolt being bent where the threads and shank of the bolt intersect. This bolt is too small to handle any lock up of the brakes and is even more fragile when the brakes are applied and the wheel hops on a rough road or pot hole. The sheer force of heavy brakeing appears to bend this top bolt which, once bent a little, becomes weaker with every braking and bends more until locking the slide.   I highly recommend replaceing all bolts when replaceing the rear pads.

#29 of 31 2002 regal brake pulsation by ljlittle Sep 22, 2009 (10:30 am)
I had complete brake job (new pads & rotors all 4 wheels) after aprox 1500 mi experienced a bad pulsation. Rotors were removed and turned, it was ok for about 500 mi then started all over. Tech says it is the front wheel brg. is slightly loose and this is causing the problem. He says this is a expensive job because it has ABS. Help
#31 of 31 brake warning light by regalgs04 Oct 20, 2009 (3:07 pm)
I own a 2004 Regal GS with about 60K miles. I need to know if I can repair the device inside the brake fluid reservoir that triggers the low level switch or if I can replace the reservoir itself without removing the master cylinder. thanks in advance for any help.
