Either your parking brake ( emergency brake ) is on or the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW
first check your brake fluid it may be low then check the switch at the emergency brake lever it may be stuck
2005 grand prix low washer fluid light is on
There could be an issue with the anti lock brakes if it equipped with them. It could also be that the brake fluid is low or the switch for the emergency brake is broken.
Check the brake fluid...
Check your brake fluid. The master cylinder has a low level sensor in it.
On the top of the back window position in the middle .
A bad ABS senser and or loose or burned out fuse.Hope this helps.
Usually it's low brake fluid or a problem with the abs. Check the brake fluid reservoir. Often the brake fluid will go down as the brake pads wear and the calipers has to travel further.
If you look below your brake reservoir there is a sensor that detects if your brake fluid is low. If this sensor goes bad or sticks, it will make the brake light come on. Try unplugging this connector. Your light should go off. If you are not having to add fluid periodically to the system, I would replace the sensor. If you are having to add any fluid to the system, then you probably have a leak in a brake line or at one of your calipers. Also be sure the emergency brake is fully released.
The red " BRAKE " light in your dash means that either your parking brake is on or the BRAKE FLUID LEVEL in your brake master cylinder in the engine compartment is LOW
