Why would a 1995 Lexus ES300 red brake light indicator on dash go on and off randomly?

On some cars low brake fluid can cause it to come on. GoodluckJoe If your brakes are very worn, it will take much more fluid to depress the calipers. This will significantly lower the amount of brake fluid in the reservoir which will trigger the brake light to illuminate. This happened to me and when I put on new calipers the light didn't come on again. I had the same problem on my 1993 ES. All the rear light bulbs worked, but one was dim and the resistance was higher than the others. I replaced that bulb and that took care of the problem. No more dash light warning.

You probably have a bad ground on your "dim" light.


What is the problem if you have tail lights but only one brake light?

The tail light/brake light bulb has two filaments. If one of the filaments is broken, you will get either only tail lights, or brake lights. If a new bulb doesn't work, then you have a broken wire or bad connection in your plug-in.


Why emergency brake light is on?

brake handle may be up only one notch and you don't notice it or if it's on the floor it may be down one or two notches, also if it's a newer vehicle there may be a problem in the electrical system, although I've never seen it with an E brake problem buckles614 the person who answered this before me might be correct but it is most likely your brake fluid is low. your emergancy brake light is the exact same as your brake fluid is low light. so just chek your brake fluid.

Can a brake problem cause the service engine light to come on?

What model do you have? I am saying no to your question. In most vehicles the service engine light deals with the operation of the "engine", igniton system, exhaust, and fuel system. If there is a problem with the brakes you could see an ABS light (if equiped) or a BRAKE! light on. If the Service engine soon light is on in your vehicle the problem lies in one of those systems. Good Luck

1995 Grand Cherokee Rear lamp error?

If you have a brake light at the top of your rear windshield, check those bulbs. Hard to determine if only one of them is out but that is probably your problem - worked for me.

What could problem be brake lights come on when no one is in car and battery goes dead?

Unwanted Brake Light ActivationUsually this is caused by the brake light SWITCH being out of adjustment in relation to the brake pedal arm which pushes on a plunger in the switch to operate it.Different makes and models of vehicles have different means of mounting and adjusting the brake light switches, so the adjustment will depend on your vehicle.
