I got plenty of Christmas lights up already.... But this brake light shows up more often now. When driving or sitting. Checked the brake fluid under the hood reservoir... It's not low, brake pads should be good. I did change the handbrake since cable broke but this was years back.... Any ideas? Thanks!

 

Check the switch on the handbrake?

 

We're is this located? Do I need to remove the center console again? Thanks

 

Yes you do. It is at the electrical connector you had to disconnect on the handle itself.

 

Wonder if that is what it is... It came on every now and than but now comes on more often... Wonder what would happen if I unplugged that thing altogether lol

 

The switch may be bad, or perhaps you just didn't get it connected up properly. You should be able to get at it with just lifting up the back of the center console--I know it can be a small pain to get it completely out of the way. If the connection is good and disconnecting it leaves the light on, you should be able to put a jumper across the connector to turn the light out. It won't be there to advise you, and neither will the chime, if you leave your brake handle up and try driving. As weak is my own e-brake is, that's a prescription for hot brakes because I really don't notice the brake being on. Consequently, I hardly ever set the e-brake.

 

Ok all check that, I just don't get it, I installed the new e-brake years ago and just now I started getting this issue

 

It's a solid brake light it doesn't blink like when the e brake is pulled up

 

Ohhh. Hmmm.

 

I'm not sure, but doesn't it change to flashing when you actually put it in gear or start driving or something? Looked at the owner's manual and it doesn't say.
