that the brake light in the cluster is retarded

i went and got my car serviced told them to check on it

then i refilled the brake fluid



it keeps telling me my e-brake is on whenever i take a fast turn
i have come to the conclusion that it comes on no matter what as to remind you to slow down lol

anyone else experienced this?

ebrake is a seperate circuit than your hydraulic lines. Probbably a short or bad switch in your electrical circuit for you brake light.

naw, in some cases when the brake fluid is too dirty, not filled up all the way, the ebrake light will flash. And it has nothing to do w/ the ebrake.
