- 1999 Ford Ranger XLT
Hey all;
I've got a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT and recently the brake light on the dash is coming on (not the ABS light) and staying on. At first I thought it was for the emergency brake (possibly sticking) because when I would engage the emergency brake then release the light would go off which is normal. Now it's coming on even though the emergency brake has been released. The brakes seem to be fine and the fluid in the master cylinder is full (which is what the manual says to check). The only thought I have is that the emergency brake is sticking but I'm not sure how to check for this. I'm a Telecommunications Technician by trade so auto-mechanics is kinda new to me. Please be kind.
TIA!
Carter
