ive searched this forum and have not found my answer yet

everytime i brake hard or take certain corners hard my e-brake light flicks on.....

i have looked at the e-brake and cleaned up the switch and made sure all the wires have good contact. i have also monitered my brake fluid to see if there are any leaks and the level has not changed in 3 months.... im about to change my brake pads and would like to stop that damn light from flicking on and off whenever it wants.

any ideas?

do you have abs?

well the lights cooming on could just be your abs working...

or it could be something i had worng with my st that i just remeberd... the ebake handlle was lose( but still worked fine) and every time i wen up hill it would slide up a bit and trigger the sensor and turn the light one..but the cable wasn't being pulled so the brakes wouldn't lock... but the sensore would connecte..

Same thing was happening to me. I added some brake fluid and since then, nothing has appeared.

Add fluid.

Second that motion. When I first bought my car the brake light came on all the time, I added fluid and now I only see it when my ebrake is on.

the brake light is not just there to tell you the ebrake is on and has nothing to do with abs (you have an abs light for that) either.

when your brake light comes on while driving, its to tell you something is wrong with your brakes. check your brake fluid level and check for any leaks around the brake master cylinder. brake fluid almost never gets low on its own. usually means that you have a leak somewhere.

if it's in the middle that will cause the light to come on when u r cornering. add fluid

The brake light also comes up when you need new pads. The light comes on when you really need new pads and you're like weeks overs due. Change your pads then see what happens. Solved my problem when I had it.

my pads arnt squeeling.... so they aint overdue they have about 15% left so im changing them out today and im gonna top off my fluid level.

I have the same problem for my fifth gen. changed brakes. then light came on and off so i added fluid its gone again, and now its on like almost all the time. fluid levels are where it supposed to be. Do I have a leak somewhere?

good as new....brake pads still have lots left and i topped off the fluid and no more light

yay
