It means there is brake problem somewhere, maybe the back brakes.
the fuse panel on my 98 is on the left end of the dash. open the door to see it. my brake lights stopped working but did not blow the fuse. had to change the brake switch located on the brake pedal. good luck
Check the fuses and the bulbs.
you need to check the switch on parking brake try to unplug
check brake fluid level. and have a brake inspection . you more than likely have front brakes needing replaced.
because it just so happens that the main feed for the energy to power the panel runs through a wire that runs along parrell to where the brake pedal is no worries your safe
Try changing the brake light switch (located on the brake pedal, by the steering column) under the dash.
You have a bad ground.
If your vehicle has separate dash panel warning lights for brakes and emergency brakes, then the e-brake light being on while not engaged may indicate that the e-brake switch may be maladjusted or faulty. If the brake warning light is on, it may indicate a brake fluid leak, or in some cases, low brake fluid levels in the reservoir. If your vehicle has a shared warning light for e-brake and brake warning, all causes listed above could apply.
Check that the cruise control module fuses are not blown in the fuse panel. Also make sure your stop lights are working; cruise controls are designed to disengage when the brakes are applied, and one method of sensing that is to monitor brake light current.
If the " BRAKE " warning light in your gauge panel is on , either your parking / emergency brake is on and if not , YOUR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS LOW in the brake master cylinder located in your engine compartment
I pull the hand brake 1 teeth which hopefully has no effect on engaging the worn brakes on rear drums of the car. Of course brake lights turns on on the dash panel. Hope that someone comes up with better answer.
im almost positive the clicking sound from the shifter panel is lockout safety disengaging so you can shift the car out of park!
