My brake lamp dash light is on, but nothing is wrong...so I just want to know if there is a way to get this light to shut off manually...?

anyone...???

 

Make sure you're using the correct bulbs in the stop lamp position on your newly installed euro-lites. The stop lamp bulbs use a "Lamp Driver" which operate the brake lamp out Diagram in the cluster.
Using either LED's or a 1056 (I think) bulb in those locations will cause the Lamp Driver to not see the proper resistance (Impedance) and think it's a Blown Bulb.

Check to see if your brake fluid is low. If the rubber on the cap is sticking into the cup the sensor for low brake fluid may have caused it to come on. Just add a little fluid. then check your pads. They may be getting thin. If your pads need changing, you might not want to put too much fuid in because it will come up when you push the caliper piston in to make room for the thicker pads. If you already checked the fluid, disregard this message.

Is it the lamp that shows on back of the picture of the car ?? if so follow P-adams advice

IF it is the lite that comes on when you pull on the e-brake than follow Blklsh advice

 

no, it just recently came on when i installed my euros

 

The word "lamp" just didn't register in my brain, I guess.

 

Check ALL the rear brake lamps, Including the inboard (trunk lid) mounted and the High-mounted third Brake Light. They all can turn on the lamp indicator.
