The check front brake light is on. Since the light has came on I have been unable to drive the car. It will start but when I put it in gear it cuts off. I've had all four brake pads checked and they all were found in good shape. The first time this problem occurred I was able to eliminate the problem by using brake spy to clean out the dust. That solution no longer works.

What the heck is wrong with my vehicle? Don't want to have it towed (since I can't drive it) to a deal without some idea about the problem.

is the fluid level full? DOes the inner pads have a sensor embedded in the lining? make sure the two wires to the pad are not pinched or broken.
