couple of car problems, brake light and tight steering Options

[celicarocker]

ok, my brake light is always on. at first i blamed it on it being super cold, but even when its not cold, its still on. and every once in a while, as far as i can tell its completely random when it happens, i can hear my brakes like grind is the best way to describe it. it only happens every once in a while.

second problem... for about 3 days or so now, when i turn more than a little bit, i really have to pull on the steering wheel. like hard... and unless i straiten it out, it will stay like that, not straighten itself out like its supposed too.

i hope these are both becuase of brake fluid and power steering fluid, but im stupid and dont know how to check either one of those... im having my stepfather (hes a mechanic and owns a shop) do it for me on tuesday night....

As far as your tail-light, on most cars theres a relay thats hooked to your brake pedal so when you brake the light goes on...that might be sticking (I had the opposite problem with my old car). As far as the steering wheel, all I have is you need power steering fluid, and if you are low, you might have a leak in your power steering pump.
