pls help - Brake light won't go off
When I got up yesterday it was 15 degrees out...
Got in the car, released hand brake but the red brake light on the dash wouldn't go off. Drove 15 minutes to train station - never went off. The rotors weren't too warm when I parked. Didn't use the hand brake. Came back that night, drove home with the light on the whole time. The rotor seemed a little warm... This morning 13 degrees and the lights still on the whole way. Seems to be sucking gas a bit more than usual. I don't hear any sqealing/brake noise and when I lift off the gas it doesn't slow quickly. I had a brake job done not too long ago and they resurfaced the rotors. Could the sensor some how be frozen? Could the brakes be on a bit but not enough to make any noise? How can I fix this? |
