i have a problem with my brake light, I put down the emergency brake but the light is staying on no matter what. When I accelerate it will turn off, but then it will come back on.

Like this:



Any assistance will be great.

Thanks guys

 

could be cause by the lil switch on the e brake or something electrical

 

any ideas on what to check and/or replace?

 

not sure off the top of my head try taking off ur arm rest and when u take the e brake off see if pushes the switch if the light doesnt turn off take a look at it thats the only thing i can think of

 

 

I'll have to check this out

Oh wow, I've never heard this. So if it's too low the brake light will turn on, seriously?

 

 

Believe it or not this is the very first time I have heard of this. Thanks for the heads up, i'll be sure to check out the level today. It would make sense on why the light goes off when I accelerate (the fluid could move back from the g's) and then turn back on right after.

 

 

I'll check...but I would assume that it would need to be below the "min" level in order for that to be the issue. I wasn't able to check it during my lunch break, so I'm not too sure.

 

Did you check the little connector under the center console armrest?

 

no sir, that will have to be done on the weekend. I leave home too early and get home a little late

 

Ridiculous...it was the brake fluid...thanks guys

 

 

well check your brake. Im in iraq, and my wife told me that the brake light stayed on even with the e brake down. So i said check the fluid, and if it needs refilling then do it. She did and now the light is gone. She had me worried for a minute. Being in iraq is not the time you wanna hear about your car having problems lol
