What is the probable cause and repair procedure for a 1998 Explorer Limited emergency brake dash warning light that works intermittently?

Answer 1

If you changed your brakes lately, you couldve forgot to put the rattle clips back on, or there could be air in your brake line, try bleeding your brakes. On my 1998 Explorer Limited, I had the same prob., i.e. my emer. brk. warn light had a mind of it's own. My prob. was simply the light indicator switch, located under the brake pedal. Replaced switch, problem resolved. Easy, Breezy, Beautiful. Hope this helps. the emerg break cable may need to be adjusted from under the car it coud be loose and causing your e break pedal from fully retracting when you when you pull the break release. to check it pull the break release while holding the e break pedal up and see if it goes out if it does then the cable needs adjusted
