Re: Parking Brake light from hell!
Quote:
Our cars do have a little float in the brake resevoir that turns the brake light on when your low on fluid. My cars has a weird brake light to. It fades in and out with the amount of gas you give it. The more you press the gas down the brighter it is. very strange

When it is cold out it nearly always comes on when I make a left hand turn!  It will stay on until I make a hard right hand turn. I started trying to figure it out a day or so ago and found that my fluid was low but I haven't added any yet so I don't know for sure if it will actually fix it or not. And yes I did slap in a new switch and it didnt help.

Re: Parking Brake light from hell!
That was your problem? You were low on fluid?
P.S. this thread was only a month old and what he said pertained to the topic 100% so I don't think he was in the wrong.

Re: Parking Brake light from hell!
Before we let this thread die, I just want to add something...BLEED THE BRAKES! Don't ask why, I'm not sure if these cars can sense an air pocket in the brake system but this will work for sure. I've had this happen twice since I've owned my car. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me the first time, the second time I noticed that the light instantly went off after bleeding all 4 brakes and has stayed off since the last bleed. Since then I recalled that I had gotten the light to go off the first time because I had to bleed all 4 brakes after painting my calipers. I didn't realize it until I bled the brakes the second time when I had to replace a caliper. Been a long time since the last bleed, and no annoying red brake light

Re: Parking Brake light from hell!
Thats strange. I always thought that the light was just from the parking brake. My eclipse does it, my civic does it, and my srt4 does it...lol

Re: Parking Brake light from hell!
The low fluid sensor in the brake resivor can also cause the light. The ebay is just grounding a wire so thats easy to tell if thats the problem. Never heard of air though, thats interesting.
