EP3 e-brake light stays on!
So the other day while driving to work my e-brake light came on, after inspecting my brakes it appeared that one of my rear calipers was stuck. I manually pushed the piston back in and flushed the brake fluid out of the entire system. I put everything back together and test drove the car and the e-brake light was still on. So, I inspected my front brakes and noticed one of the front brake pads was pretty worn and the other wasn't. Since I have life time warranty on the pads I took them in and traded them for new ones and got the rotors turned. Again I put everything back together and test drove the car and the e-brake light is still on. Frustrating!
I cant figure whats going on, I checked all my fuses, replaced the fluid, replaced the front brake pads, and the brakes appear to be working fine but that dam e-brake light is still on. Does anybody have a clue to why my e-brake light is still on?
Also, the day the e-brake light came on my a/c compressor stopped working. I don't think its related to the e-brake but my a/c compressor wont spin when I turn on the a/c.

first things first check the brakes it could be your pads are already gone
and second i agree with type-spaz maybe your rear is stuck and check the brake fluid too

Re: EP3 e-brake light stays on!
Took the car to two mechanics today, The first inspected my entire brake system and said everything was ok. He said because my a/c isn't working it could be an electrical problem. I took it to another mechanic to check the a/c and he said everything appears to be ok but there is an electrical short somewhere and that he is going to charge 250 bucks to find it and fix the problem.
Does anybody have a clue to whats going on? My a/c stopped working, my e-brake light is on, and both mechanics told me nothing is wrong with my brakes and a/c. I ve checked all my fuses, could the problem be with my ecu or a ground wire? any help would be appreciated.
