i have a 2000 ej the problem is when i release my e-brake the light still have a little red glow to it i dont know what the problem is. the only thing i can think is the caliper going out or the master cylinder. i did a rear disc brake conversion using my stock propotion valve and cylinder and than 2 months that problem started can anybody help?

 

Have you checked your brake fluid level?

 

yea i did, also i forgot to mention i change the brake pad and the metal bar that come out was hard to push back in the caliper

 

check the switch pigtail under the ebrake area could be a bad/stuck ebrake switch, also to see if your pistons are stuck. just lift the wheels up and turn wheels. you should have alittle noise as you spin wheels, but very minimal. i dont think the piston have a sensor so to me it seems to be at the switch then to the cables. maybe the cable is stuck aswell.

 

Have you checked the plug under your center console? Make sure the switch isn't being activated.

 

i've try that i even unplug it and the little red glow is still on. do i need to bleed all the brake fluid?

 

my em1 was doing the same thing, it would stay on...and then when I pulled the ebrake up all the way, held it, then slammed it to the ground, it would turn off(sometimes it would have this baby glow to it). After driving about 3 miles, it would turn back on. I replaced the brake reservoir cap and it hasn't came back on ever since. I was told that the cap failure was a common problem.
