Hey all. I've got an issue and I assume it is braking related.
My brake light (on the gauge cluster, the e-brake one "BRAKE") will illuminate at seemingly random times during driving. It started illuminating during hard braking about a month ago and now it comes on at will. I notice that hard turns, hard braking, or even just random driving will induce it to illuminate. Any ideas on the source of the problem? Some answers would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed P.S. Forgot to mention: I have a 96' Celica GT. No ABS. Thanks.

Checked the brake fluid, looks a little low. Filling her up should do the trick.
The bigger question is: do I have a leak and how bad is it? Hope for the best. |
