Help(Parking Break Light Always ON)

[NightRock]

Which one I have to check first?? even the parking break is released the light still on? I don't know where to start

go to autozone or somewhere similar and have your trouble codes checked as well as do a search on this site to help find out what is going on

Thanks for the reply but Im here in Dubai and we don't have autoszone here.. I'm trying to dig out any related topic in to this

It's probably the switch behind the parking release. I bought them from the dealer for a few dollars. I haven't found anybody selling them as an aftermarket replacement.

Assuming you have the floor parking brake, rather than the UK style, try this.

Release the parking brake handle and hold it in its released position. Pull the parking brake lever up all the way with your other hand and then let go of the release. It works for me.

Check the oil level in your master cylinder.

Check the oil level in your master cylinder.

The parking brake shares the light with the regular brake system and as stated the brake fluid level is low.

Ditto: The only two things that cause the brake light to come on are the switch on the pedal, or the fluid level sensor showing a low fluid level.

that can also be caused by an inbalance between the front and rear brakes

Uuuuh... no. Not on a 98 anyways. Can't speak for an '04.
