Re: emergency brake light

thats a tough one dude...I would normally say your ebrake switch is in need of adjustment or replacement...other than checking that the switch is mounted properly, and is within spec...I'd almost say you have a short in the wiring from the switch, there may be a short in the printed circuit in the dash...does the light come on normally when your parked and apply the ebrake? if it does than the dash light is probably working fine and you have a short, or bad/out of adjustment switch. I'm pretty sure that circuit shares the fluid level warning for the MC to though..might wanna check the fluild level...maybe the warning gets tripped when you go around corners and the fluid moves at an odd angle. I don't have a manual handy...please anyone correct me if I'm wrong about the warning light
