ok so my brake light stays on what would cause this?? when i pull it up it work. i dont know what else to say execpt that the light just stays on.

 

Had the same problem years ago. It was caused because my e-brake line was seized up by road salt, and the light never went off till i took it in to get looked at, it ended up costing me several hudred coin to get the brakes fixed. So my advice is to get it looked at now, and dont be a moron like i was!

 

what all did you have to replace im buyin pads and roters tommorow.

 

hey my ebrake is worthless honestly you could drive with it on and not make a difference my question is what i should check for b4 gettin it looked at by someone cus it isnt doin ne thing as of now

 

If you can drive with it on and not feel it, you most likely need to have the pads changed.
Any component of the brake system will cause the light to come on guys. You can easily check the fluid and the pads. Make sure that the e-brake is fully released because driving with it on doesn't help.

 

my e brake light comes on when it's cold out before the engine warms up. don't know why. i ignore it.

 

i drove with ny light on so long i had to replace everything to do with the brakes, and was told not to use my e-brake anymore because it was not worth fixing.

 

Yo I never had used my E-Brake b4 till I got this car, is it a problem when you can drive in reverse with it on and not feel anything?

 

You might not feel anything while its on, reverse or not. I know I never felt mine, but i dont think its a really big deal.

The ebrake isn't designed to stop the car, it's more for grabbing a hold of the drum around it and holding it in place (like when parked). I don't know if some of you guys have ever seen the ebrake pads....but they aren't big (small surface area and thin).
Stop thinking about drifting guys...the stock ebrake is on the opposite end of the that spectrum.
Goose is correct, you may or you may not feel it while moving. I know that I can feel the ebrake release on my car...that's assuming that I left it applied before moving and at a slow speed, release the ebrake and you may feel it. If you can't there may not be enough there to hold the car in place (if you're a manual).
