Does our cars (4gen) have e-brake lights ? I dont see any on mine when the e brake is applied .When the key is half on & the lights on the dash go on i see one for brake but it does not light up for the e brake.
Why i need this you ask ,well i was driving with my e brake on wondering y the car is so slow(my wife pulled it up when we stopped ).After a few blocks the porterfeilds stunk up the place So i really dont want this to happen again ,i could have warped my rotors .
So what the word.

 

I'll go find out!!

 

My '98 GXE's dash brake (idiot) light turns on when I pull the e-brake.

 

yup 96 has a brake light when the ebrake is applied - sounds like you've gots a problem sir. lol

first lets not call it an E-brake ok. Think about what your saying. in an emergeny situation its not gonna stop you. I can repeat my "E-brake" sueing the manufacter story again if you like. and yea, there is a brake warning light on the dash that should light up. Could be an electrical problem, bulb burnt out, maybe stuck switch or something else. good luck

 

I need some advil....

 

Actually, EricGP's brakes went out one night when his GF was driving, and she used the e-brake plus downshifting to get the car to stop before she plowed into the next car at an intersection. So, the E-brake does help in some emergency situations.
