1996 Nissan Sentra Sign In

My Sentra has been great, with almost 150,000 miles. However there are two issues that I have had problems with:

My windshield washer pump does not work, fuses are good, and it's not listed in the repair manual.
I can't even find the d--- thing.

My brake warning light came on this winter (New Hampshire) and will not go out. I used the OBD II plug to check and there are no warnings, I checked the switch at the base of the e-brake handle and cycling it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks,

Dave

Washer pump may be at the base of the tank. Sometimes an in-line univeral will work just fine if pump itself has failed.

The brake light: Is this a yellow ABS light or the red light? Red should be activated by low fluid, pressure imbalance, or parking brake. Chase some lines from the master cylinder and see what it senses in line. Some have to be bled out to center the imbalance if recent brake work was done. Some cars but I don't think this one put a ground wire in the brake pads and when they touch the rotor they put up a light.

Hey - it's brakes and worth fully checking out and fixing,
