"Brake Light" In Dash-What Does It Mean?
I have a brake light button that has turned on in my dash next to the check engine light etc. Does anyone know what it means? I have checked all my lights and they seem to all be working fine. Thankss

I had that on my wifes 02 TL and it was a tail light bulb.. Have someone stand behind the car while you depress the brake pedal and see what bulb is not lighting
If it were brake fluid the "Brake" would illuminate
It it was a bulb, "Brake Light" would illuminate.
It is easy to replace. Check the manual.

There are two lights
"BRAKE"
"BRAKE LIGHTS"
If its the one with lights, a bulb is burned out. If its "BRAKE" its either your parking brake or you car thinks you are low on fluid. This might be due to a leak or more commonly the sensor goes.

even the center/3rd brake light bulbs must be working or the system detects an imbalance and alerts you..

Could be the float in the brake fluid reservoir. Mine seems to stick when it gets pretty cold out. Take of the cap and slide it around to loosen it up to see if that helps. I've also heard the filter in the bottom of the reservoir may need to be replaced.

have you had your brakes done yet? i had the same thing for awhile and also thought it was just the light. so i took it to midas and they said i needed new pads and resurfacing of the rotors. btw.. i had 60000 miles and never had the brakes done

when your pads get low, you lose more fluid in the reservoir bc it fills the lines and calipers bc the pads are low.
