my e-brake light is on... the thing is, i never use it. what could this be? how can i fix it?

on my old acura (89 legend) the light came on, but so did the ABS light. so i took it in and they just bled the lines and put in new fluid. the guy said there was air in the lines so the lights came on.

is this the same thing??

check the sensor underneath where the handle hits to turn the light off...might be missing it or the wires could be bad or somehting

and no air with ebrake....its all mechanical

could be a faulty wire, switch, ect..hard to say..or possibly air in the brake lines...i can check the troubleshooting section of my factory manual tommorow though if ya like...

no no, i don't mean the outer lights, i mean the dash light... you know... all the ones that flash up when shit goes wrong.

Brake fluid might be low in the reservoir... that'll turn on the light

liloj

i didnt mean the out side ones :P theres a button underneth your ebrake handle..that the handle touches when you pull it up......if that sensor is stuck..then your light is stuck....

ebrake=doesnt use fluid

i dont know who your mechanic is but i think he needs to be retested for his license

i woudl if i were you check the wires and make sure there is no snags and they are running good

its not mecahnical it has to be electrical
