Every now and then (completely randomly and intermitantly) the e-brake light stays on when i start the car. I never use the e-brake except on hills.

Then it will do strange things like go off when i press the regular foot brake, but come back on when i hit the gas again. On off, on off with no pattern i can see.

Any ideas? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the car but i don't have an owners manual so i don't know if that light can imply more than just the e-brake being engaged.

Thanks!

 

check your fluid...
mine does that when its below 45 degrees for some reason..then after the car warms up it quits

 

The brake light can light up with any malfunction with the brake system. As said above, check your fluids.

 

Yep, it's most likely your float gauge for your brake fluid. It gets sticky every once in a while and needs to be moved around. It's a little messy, but gets the job done

 

Thanks for the info guys, i'll check the brake fluid and float guage asap.

 

Some early models had sensors go bad in the brake fluid cap.
