Normally my E-brake light works perfectly fine, but this morning I let off the e-brake all nicely like I usually do and the light went off. Few feet of driving and the brake like starts flickering (not blinking, flickering). Immediatly I think the e-brake isnt all the way down. I check and it is...then all of a sudden, the flickering stops and the brake light doesnt come on anymore at all. I was thinking a burnt bulb but how can it burn out if it wasn't supposed to be lit since the e-brake was down?

 

Have you performed any brake service to your car lately?

My probem with the light happened when I changed my brakes, and the brake light stayed on eventhough my resorvoir was adequately filled. I rememebered this happening before at the dealer and the technician reached into the resevoir and brought some floating device to the surface within the resevoir, and the light turned off. I did the same thing and it also worked for me.

 

Nope....i didnt touch the brakes

 

Check your brake fluid level. Note: The brake light may still come on even when the level is slightly above the low mark. To be sure, bring the fluid to at least between high and low marks.

 

Oh I figured out today, the brake light is on when the ignition turns on, but once the car turns on, the light turns off regardless if the ebrake is on or off
