could anyone tell me what the problem is.. my ebrake is all the way down and i still get the brake sign? then suddenly it goes away and comes back>?

 

could be an electrical issue.
try readjusting your e brake. loosen the tension.

 

check your brake fluid. If it's low it will turn the light on. If your brake fluid is low, check for leaks at the master cylinder and check your brake pads for wear.

 

^The brake light is only on for the E BRAKE tho....

 

^^^ yup...
another thing i looked up.. is that if its cold outside it will turn on..
so i started my car in the monring and i guess it was cold last night and it had some frost.. so maybe thats the problem?

 

no it isn't.

as kchung stated, check your brake fluid level, it is most likely low. Most likely low because of a leaky master cylinder. Or you brake pads are worn so low, most of the fluid is in the lines.

the blinking is caused by change in fluid level due to heating of the fluid, or motion of car. After you find out if you are leaking, or have low pads, or neither, best to flush the brake lines to get any air out of the lines.

 

Correct, the brake light WILL come on when you have low brake fluid. Usually the culprit is worn brake pads.

 

wrong

wrong

correct.

also if you've checked the fluid lately, make sure you tightened the cap all the way, because if it's loose, it will also cause a problem

 

both wrong.. just checked my brake fluid and my pads.. my pads are like 50 %
but honestly i parked my car inside in the garage last night and the light didn't turn on in the monring..
it only happened last monring and it started blinking and all these crazy stuff

 

FACT: the 2 things that turn on the red brake light on your dash (barring any electrical problems) are: 1: the e-brake being engaged; 2: low brake fluid.

Cold brake fluid will not turn on the light. And you live in Alhambra, right? It doesn't get cold there.

Do you have a bunch of junk under your e-brake handle that won't let it completely disengage?

When you checked your brake fluid was it above the "MIN" line? If it is at or below the "MIN" line, you will still see brake fluid but it won't be enough to keep the light from coming on intermittently.

Does the switch that is connected to the brake fluid cap (the round sliding float that you see attached to the stem under the cap) move freely? Are the wires that come from the cap attached securely to the harness? If all these things are in place then you may have an electrical problem where the circuit for the switch is shorting to ground.

 

well honestly it was cold at night..and it was about maybe high low 50s that night..
and the light never turned on again.. only that one morning..
so idk .. ill see wats up in a few days and get back to you guys

 

This drove me crazy for several years on my 2002 Odyssey. Turned out that the plastic float on the cap for the master cylinder had a leak. You have to replace the whole cap assembly to the tune of about $30.
