So the red "BRAKE" light is on and the message on the display indicates to "check brake linings". I imagine that the "brake linings" in question are the pads, but are you saying that since the "BRAKE" light is on that I will have to replace the sensors?

Correct: IF the brake light is being activated by a pad wear sensor it needs to be replaced as it creates a short in the circuit and turns on the light. NOTE: there are other sensors that can trigger a "Brake Light" warning. No fluid for example at master cyl. Brake Lining warning is only the pads getting to 3/32 depth left of wear materials.

So I could potentially have 2 brake problems is what you are saying?

He's saying that you can't reuse the old wear sensor. Once the wear sensor is activated by the brake pad, it needs to be replaced.

So PO says the battery was purchased at PepBoy, but via a quick glance at it last night it was auto craft brand. I know advanced auto sells that brand, but I don't think PepBoy does. Anybody know?

Just look at the date code on the battery.....

Yes, it's a AA battery.
The date code should just tell you whether you are in warranty or not

Still cold up here, so I didn't take off the bracket covering the battery. I tried to sneak a peak at the battery date, but couldn't see it.

It's just 3nbolts to remove get to the battery....

Remove Spare if you have it
Then the 3 bolts on the compressor frame
Should take no more than a couple of minutes..

10-4. I'll check it out tonight. I'm ready to start driving this thing. It looks nice in the driveway ;) Thanks for the help.

Does it have an aftermarket radio or other accessories? They often seem to be the source of overnight battery drains.

Definitely worth taking the battery back to whatever shop it came from for a free trst. Always good to investigate the easiest problem to solve first.
