Emergency Brake Light Staying On
 

I went to start my Alero the other day and when I put my E brake down the "brake" light was still lit. It's been sitting for about a month and the battery has died twice. I didn't get to drive it to see if it would shut off.

Any ideas?

Check brake fluid level.

If the level's good, the sensor is effed

Mine is unpluged

He's talking the ebrake so isn't that a diff light? I'd think it has something to do with the sensor down under the lever that knows when the lever is lifted

I think it's the same light.... isn't it? It just says BRAKE...?

The Ebrake light is on the tach, right?

And the brake light is on the speedo?

Or i could be wrong.

All i see is BRAKE on the tach...

Just says "BRAKE"

I'll check fluid levels next time I go to start it

Either low fluid, ebrake is on, or pressure differs between brake circuits (aka a line is leaking or something).

You probably notice pull if the pressure differential was the case.. I agree with all of them, fluid level!

ya, check the fluid. thats what mine was.

Thanks all

Ya... it is th e-brake and a brake system warning light mine does not say brake tho, it is..... (!)(P)

mine used to stick, it's the position sensor

Or it could simply be the fluid level.

If your car shows the (!)(P) it was made in Canada. Or at least thats how it goes now-a-days. If its in pictures rather than words, its a Canadian built car, GM at least...

I always wondered why?... Or if there was anything else the did different.
