hey everyone i've got a little problem that started this morning, i started my car to warm it up as i usually do, and when i got in to actually drive i noticed that my parking brake light was on, so i thought the parking brake was up and i wud just push it down and the light would be gone and now ive even tried pulling up the parking brake and then relaseing it and the light wont go away , does anyone know of a problem wiht out 99' i30s thats similar to this??? any help would be greatly appriciated

one more thing could the cold affect it because it is -21 degrees Celcius out here and with windchill -35

i have a 96 i30, had the same problem, didnt realize that my brakes were making noise while that light was on, had them checked out and i wound up needing new brakes, once they were changed the light went off, the mechanic that changed the brakes said that its not just a parking brake light it does know when your brakes need a changing.

check your brake fluid

thanks for the help everyone but a couple hours later the light went away and the temperature had also gone back up to about -15 so its fine noww lol thanks

thats a good indicator your fluid is low and you need new brake pads.
