Brake Lamp turned on... wtf
so having not driven the TL for about 3 weeks, its usually parked on my driveway with a cover over it. I decided to open it up and give it a wash. i get in the car and start it. I see the brake lamp on. Well, thats odd, I wonder whats wrong. I shifted into reverse and moved the car a bit, the brakes still work. I haven't driven it anymore, so i dunno if it pulls to the side or not. i did noticed that when i pressed the brake pedal, there was a clicking in the center console where the shifter was, prolly just the switch to allow you to shift out of park. I checked the brake fluid level, which was fine, but the fluid was black. I need to get around to getting rid of the old fluid. Other than that, i don't see why something was wrong. All the brake lights in the back work. Maybe the rotors are a little rusty from sitting outside in the rain? Any ideas? TIA
