Hey,

My friend who owns a '99 GSR told me about his parking brake light coming on during hard acceleration in 1st gear. Now, He says it happens through 4th gear. I was thinking that a sensor wire is loose/disconnected or his parking brake cable needs to be adjusted. What would be the best route to fix this problem. No other symptoms as far as I know.

Thanks

 

look for the brake switch...take out the center console? i dunno where its at

yeah find the switch, if the switch is cool trace that wire(s)

 

Did you try topping off the brake fluid? If the level gets too low, the sensor activates the light.

 

errr dont ever top off your brake fluid

 

I understood Chiovnidca's reply... maybe not "top off" but make sure that the master cylinder has a sufficient amount of fluid in there...

also consider the amount of play the e-brake handle handle has... if the handle is sloppy it will also illluminate the brake lamp when hitting bumps and what not...

only 2 switches that will illuminate the brake lamp... E-Brake switch and master cylinder fluid level switch....

 

Thanks for the replies. I will check those things today on his car.
