Could be as simple as low fluid. Maybe time for inspection. Fluid level in reservoir will drop as brakes wear out

When handbrake is off,it beeps 3x when you start to move,then it stops,also the rear brake lights stay on why?

Sounds like you drive a Ford. Usually the parking break light is the a bad pressure switch some times I have seen a piece of garbage stuck that keeps you hand break from seating all the way to contacted the pressure switch. The beeping you hear when you start moving is just the car notifying you that the break is registered as being applied.

My 2000 VW Beetle's Ac stopped working. It doesnt blow any air out at all. Also the break light and the ABS lights are on. The ABS came on after the breaks got changed. The Break light is blinking and...

Sounds like you have some electrical gremlins that have moved in...

Since the fan does not even come on, and the fuses keep blowing. It sounds like the resistor pack for the blower motor could have failed, or a wire is shorted somewhere.

The ABS could simply be a wire, or sensor that was carelessly overlooked to be plugged back in when the breaks were done. Or it could be more serious.

When brake is applied a beeping noise is made, brake fluid is full, the other thing is that when it beeps the right hand indicator light glows, and stays on until break is released

Sounds like u have a set of crossed wires.most likely your brake lights and your indicator lights. as for the beeping. could be another short ti power for your door dinger. this is assuming that the beeping is the same as if u left your keys in the ignition

Hello I saw the break alert light lit on my

Usually when th fluid level low light comes on, it is because the fluid is ging to the front calipers to fill the pistons that push the brake pads against the rotors. This is because the pads are worn down and probably need replacing.

As for the 3 beeps, it is not related to the brakes.

if it is 5 beeps, it is the air bag or pretensioner.

When the ignition is cycled (turned off and then on), the air bag indicator will remain lit for six seconds and then go out. If an SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will then flash the two-digit LFC. The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five times, then it will remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the current and historical DTCs through the data link connector (DLC), using the scan tool. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.

My back break lights are not working the inside lights stay on when car is off car says hazard ligths are on when they are not and when car is off it beeps like you left the keys in the ignition when they...

beeping maybe light on warning instead of key warning. Brake lights go through the hazard and turnsignal switch. Hazards may not be flashing due to bad flasher, but may be turned on. Most likely possibility is hazard switch contact in combination switch (hazard and turnsignal switch in one unit). Unplug the turnsignal switch at the bottom of the steering column and see if the problems go away, and you will know if that is it.

Break light on dashboard is on constantly and keeps beeping, don't know why it is on!

Check brake fluid level could be low, if not low disconnect brake light switch at master cylinder sit on side of master if light goes off replace that switch if light stay on check parking brake switch at parking brake peddle.
