Default Why is it doing this?

Yeah so I was driving around on some nice twisty roads today. I noticed that on some turns that I really pull hard through the brake light turns on. the brake light that says "your parking brake is on". What the hell is with that? It did it twice today. I don't recall it doing that at an AutoX, but then again I don't look at my guages much during an event. Any bright ideas?

Ok good to hear that it's not just my car getting a jackified. Well if some one figures out what it is or remebers how to fix it let me know. the last time I was behind the cluster I clipped the plugs back in nice and tight. But it could have come loose too, I guess.

Don't sweat it. Is your e-brake cable too loose or too tight? If it's too loose, have it tightened up some. If it is too tight, ehhhh, do some e-brake slides to loosen it.
