I'm having some problems with my brake light. (I drive a 98 integra ls 2dr) I put down the e-brake and the light stayed on, so I pulled it back up and then down and it still stayed on. When I went to go ahead and drive it flickered on and off and it stayed on. I messed around with the little clip/connection located in the center consule by the e-brake handle and the light finally went off. When I went to move my car tonight, it happened again and I can't seem to get the light to turn off this time. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

 

Check your brake fliud level and top it off.

 

Yes. Brake fluid.
The MAX indicator line on the resevoir is NOT full enough.
You should top it off with Genuine HONDA DOT3 brake fluid and be OK.

I assume your Brake Lamp turns off after the engine (brake fluid actually) warms up fully? Does it temporarilly turn off after applying the brakes in a semi-aggressive stop? My Brake Lamp has done the same thing.

Also, check your brake pads while you're at it. Just to make sure they are still thick enough.

 

thanks,but i went out this morning and pop off the brake resevoir top and put it back on and the light went out as soon as i put the e-bake down i think the float was stuck. thanks onces again
