Brake light on dash on!?

[Nobby]

Anybody know what could be wrong? The light on the dash comes on from time to time. Not the ABS light but the power brake one. I checked the fluid level, pumped the emergency brake pedal but nothing. The brakes do feel fine but I rather not guess since I'm planning a long trip in a few weeks.

Can anybody help?

Two things. 1. If the e-brake pedal return spring is loose, this could cause an occasional flash or "brake" light warning. Try pulling the e-brake pedal up when the light flashes, if it solves the problem, replace the spring or use a heavy duty rubber band to hold the pedal up. 2. If that doesn't work, then you may have a problem with the master cylinder or the proportioning valve, perhaps even the ABS controller. these can be checked out at a dealer, usually for $80 or so for the dedicated scanner...
