Brake Lamp symbol lit up tonight on my dash, turns out its my left brake light, I don't have a manual, which bulb do i change at the back for the brake light?

Also, the rear brake light on top of the seat is out, just noticed this, i looked in the trunk, and i saw a loose connection hanging there, I wonder if that's it and i never had a brake light there when i purchased the car? lol

Also, when in park on a hill, and e-brake applied, i need to put car in first/reverse so it doesnt slowly roll, i guess the brake cable is loose? also, while im driving if i slightly hit the e-brake, the light will go on, on the dash, i just press it down and it goes off ,but it's annoying, will tightening the cable, tighten the e-brake arm?

Sorry for the long post/ramble....been a long day

Thanks in advance...

sounds like you have two bad rear calipers. better look at them.

but to answer the question theres an adjusting nut under the armrest inside beneath the cd holder. however you dont want to adjust the cable unless youve replaced the rear pads. that will cause you to always have pressure on the rear wheel once you finally replace the pads. also you can adjust the e-brake limit switch which is below the center console too. you just have to remove it up to the e-brake handle and youll see the switch, just loosten the lock nut and screw it upwards, then re-tighten the lock nut.

oh yea wil's cool
