brake light

Recently, My brake light started coming on sporadically. When I start the car up, the light doesnt go away. I replaced all four pads about 20,000 miles ago and they still seem to be in good shape.

Another thing I noticed is that when ever a make a left turn, I hear some kind of noise (like something is rubbering up), It sounds like its coming from the wheel well.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

i'm pretty used to seeing my SES light on but seeing this new light on all the time is annoying.

Anytime the brake light comes and stays on, check your brake fluid. This is a good sign that the fluid is low. If it isn't, then something else is going on.

Thanks for the tip, I just read the manual and it said the same thing. I will do it tonight.
