Brake Light Help

mfinlay04 · 09-09-2007, 03:36 PM

So my back pads were totally shot. I changed them out and put everything back together and now the "brake" light is on all the time? Almost as if the e-brake was pulled or something...

The brakes were bleed afterwards so I'm not sure why the light is on.

Anyone?

When you drive over a couple miles an hour does your console beep?
Pull up slightly on the e-brake before the first click do you hear the e-brake electric switch make a clicking sound?
If answer is yes to the first or no to the second then it is your e-brake.
