break light coming on
During heavy breaking the break light in the dash comes on (same light that comes on when you ebrake is on). Is this a warning light that the breaks need to be changed or is there something wrong with my light?

had this problem in my van. check your pads if the fluid is low. That stuff doesnt just evaporate off. If its low then that means either the pads have been extended out alot or theres a leak somewhere. Also, setting the ebrake could help. you could do it by pulling off the wheel and doing it manually, or put your car in reverse, roll until 5-10 mph, let off the gas, pull the ebrake. It should get tighter.
