When the Brake Light Comes on Even if the Hand Brake is Down
November 14, 2010 6:47 pm BrakesMy brake light came on in my dash recently even though the hand brake was clearly down. I was afraid that something was wrong with the hand brake sensor, but I realized that the beeping sound (from leaving the hand brake up) wasn’t sounding, so i figured it was something else. As it turns out there is a separate sensor for brake fluid that also triggers that same light. I topped off the reservoir with some Dot 3/4 fluid and the light has gone away.
Just wanted to share in case anyone runs into the same confusing situation.
