BRAKE light coming on after car sits for a while
 

Anyone else have this happen...Seems like a cold weather thing...But my BRAKE light comes on in the mornings when I start my car and it comes on after work (since my car has been sitting)....And it stays on until I turn the car off.

I know the dealer will handle this, but I like being specific in my service requests.

Insight?

Edit - And NO - I do not have the parking brake engaged ;)

I had that happen on my last car, and it was just a matter of adding some brake fluid. My brake light would stay on, then go off, and sometimes come back on. Check your brake fluid level and make sure its full. If its below that level, its a good chance thats your problem.

Good suggestion...Thanks!

Had the same problem. Bad sensor in the cap. Replaced under warranty.

I too "am" having the problem. I also need to replace my pads.

brake fluid level. if your right on the edge the light usually only comes on when your idle and the fluid isnt sloshing around.......
