HEY EVERYONE,

NEW TO THE FORUM. I'VE GOT A STOCK 04 SRT-4 WITH ABOUT 16,000 MILES. I'VE COME ACCROSS MY FIRST PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR, I HEAR A BEEPING SOUND ( IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SEAT BELT WARNING, ONLY CONTINUOUS FOR A FEW SECONDS) AND MY PARKING BRAKE LIGHT FLASHES A COUPLE OF TIMES. PERFORMANCE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED. I HAVE RECENTLY MASTERED THE WOT SHIFT, MAYBE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. ANYONE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?

I DECIDED TO TAKE THE BASKET HANDLE FIN OFF LAST WEEK. I USED 3/8 INCH ZINC PLATED PLUGS (IN THE HARDWARE SECTION AT HOME DEPOT) AND BLACK NEOPRENE WASHERS TO SEAL THE HOLES. TOOK IT TO THE CAR WASH, NO LEAKS! THE PLUGS AND THE WASHERS COST ME ABOUT 7 BUCKS, CHEAP AND I STILL HAVE THE OPTION OF PUTTING THE FIN BACK ON ONE DAY. I'LL POST A PIC SOON.

ANY HELP WITH MY ACCELERATION PROB IS APPRECIATED.

 

Just a guess here, but maybe something in the shifter is rubbing the wiring for the e-brake. The wires should run under/in/around the shifter area. Good luck.

 

Add brake fluid.

 

yes, add brake fluid. also check the pads, the warning light comes on when the pads begin to wear down causing the sensor to be exposed to air when you launch.
