HI Vinni,

        Good luck on your interesting work project. 

        If your brake fluid level has not changed and the brakes are working normally then let’s hope it is an electrical ground issue. 

        Others know the system much better.  And likely you are due for a brake fluid change and such.  But, I have friends that have gone much longer with no issues. 

Keep us posted and I hope you get some good tips on particular grounds or such to check quickly.
