firstly, my parking brake handle is down

searched FAQ's, no beans.

as title says, my BRAKE light is lit.

could this be some kind of bad sensor? with the parking brake off i can still spin the rear wheels freely, yet the light remains lit.

is this some kind of warning light for the brake system, or is it parking brake only.

any tips greatly appreciated. thanks!

Low brake fluid...

thats interesting, didnt know that.. its just under the MAX indicator, so it passes visual inspection.. i wonder if that sensor is bum?

Ebrake stuck up?

thats what im wondering-- there seems to be *some* tension in the cable while the handle is down, but im wondering if the sender for that light works off of the ebrake handle or the cable tension somewhere.

i can spin the rear wheels when jacked up pretty freely without any friction from the caliper, so ehhh i dunno.

just unplug the sensor on the master cylinder res. to see if the light goes out. then you'll know if you need to replace it.

ill give that a whirl, for some reason i thought if the sensor was unplugged it would throw a light too, oh well. hehe.

thanks for the tip, ill try that

take your center console off and check the ebrake sensor.. its toward the base of the ebrake and the two metal pieces should only come in contact when ebrake is up.. sounds confusing but you'll understand when u mess around with it.

thats the problem! thanks for the help man. cheap part too, thank god, i was worried
