Parking brake turns on sometimes
The parking brake light turns on sometimes even when the handbrake is down.
Sometimes the light would stay on until I hit a bump or something or turn around a corner. In this case the parking brake light comes on after I press on the brake Any ideas? |
From what i can tell by my parking brake, the sensor is very sensitive. I notice when i just bump my brake lever, the light would flash. When i say bump it, it is from hitting it horizontal and not vertical.
I haven't looked to mod it yet since the only time mine comes on is if i hit the e-brake lever. Sounds like yours is more sensitive. |
Your brake fluid could be on the edge of low. Check and top it up.
Also you should use a lower gear at that speed, being down under 3k in 6th isn't great for the engine IMO. It lugs when you try to accelerate so low. |
mine stayed on until i changed the pads

fluid or pads are low.
start with topping off the brake fluid and see if that fixes it. |
