Hi guys. My brake light seems to turn on or 'get stuck' sometimes. I notice that it comes on during hard acceleration and then goes off with a little time. Does anyone know how to adjust the parking brake switch? If I knew where it was I think I could fix this. I think it's just getting stuck in the 'on' position. Thanks in advance.

ahh, yes, the brake light.

This is a problem with our cars. Mine randomly comes on, but there's no problem with the brakes. The sensor in the cap is picky. You can take it off, and if it doesn't move up and down freely, buy a new one. If it does, check the continuity on the terminals attached. It should have continuity on down, and be open on up. If not, replace the cap.

Also, make sure you're at full on the brake fluid reservoir.

Thanks for the tip Saiko. I took it all apart today under the cup holders and found that a wire from the emergency brake was somehow touching metal from the car. That caused the light to come on. Fixed!

grounded wires, you're lucky!
