First check the fluid level in the engine bay - this light will also turn on if fluid is low. If it's low, you can fill and it'll be fine, but then you'll have to ask why is the fluid low? It doesn't go low unless there is a leak somewhere. If it's not low, and your E brake is not on, it's the sensor switch that needs to be replaced.

The Brake warning light comes on. I checked the brake fluid level in master cylinder & it was okay. The fluid looked dirty. Please help

Sharon, Check to make sure emergency brake is not on and fully released, try not to drive your vehicle if the red brake warning light is on. Could have air in the system from a small crack in brake line, faulty master cylinder, faulty caliper etc. Have a good tech. check braking system, diagnose and estimate repair.

VW golf mk4 press brake warning light not coming on

What brake are you talking about? The emergency brake or the brake pedal. Warning lights only come on when 1, there is a leak ing the system while driving and you loose pressure, 2. upon starting the vehicle as a bulb check, 3. When you apply the emergency brake. Have the brake switch on the pedal and emergency brake checked also check the bulb. If the bulb lit upon startup, it is probably the switch. Please give more details so that we can be better able to help you.

My parking brake light won't go off. It has been on for about a week already. I have double checked to make sure it is not my emergency parking brake. What could it be?

This brake warning llight will come on if the brake fluid level in the master cylinder gets to low. Have you checked the fluid level?

My emergency brake light goes on and off as of pleases and my brake is up. Please help

Depending on the year make and model, if the parking brake pedal is up, the switch could be faulty. The brake warning light may also be used to warn of low brake fluid in the master cylinder.

I.P Brake light is staying on.. what does this mean

Hi,

Offhand, the brake light warning on most dashboards would indicate that the hand/emergency brake is engaged. If even when the hand/emergency brake is disengaged or is in normal position and the light is still lit, it could indicate that:
  • the brake fluid in the reservoir is below minimum level;
  • and possibly the brake shoes/pads need replacement.
Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
