My E-brake light all of a sudden, started staying on all the time tonight. If it does go out, its only for a matter of seconds and its right back on. The E-brake is obvisouly off and the car is driving fine. No other lights in the panel are malfunctioning. What could be wrong? Here is a pic of my old car so people will want to look at this thread:

 

DAMNIT YOU GOT ME...

 

Check your brake resevoir if the brake fluid is low that will make your light come on..If thats not it, could be the switch for your e-brake.

 

mine does it sometimes, but only when the car is freezing, the floater in the brake fluid resivior freezes to the top and the light stays on for a while, it its only when its cold, its no big deal

 

brake fluid

 

Thanks everyone. I just checked and brake fluid was very low.

Hey I have this same problem too. Time to check the brake fluid.

 

Brake fluid is #1, and also the little sensor on the cap goes bad frequently.

 

Got me too

I only click on threads with pics. hehe

 

Got me too.

 

If your brake fluid is freezing, it has too much water in it, change it out asap. Brake fluid doesnt freeze.
