The brake light in your dash comes on , if the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW , and also if your emergency brake is on
remove the brake caliper and the rotors come right off
Could be, a blown fuse, burned out bulbs, bad brake light switch, or an improperly installed brake light switch.
Replace brake light switch.
If you are speaking of the brake light on the dash, you may be low on brake fluid. Just fill the master cylinder with DOT 3 brake fluid, and the light should not come on anymore.
If the red " BRAKE " light comes on in your dash , either the parking / emergency brake is on or the BRAKE FLUID LEVEL in the brake master cylinder ( in the engine compartment of a Ford Explorer ) is LOW
The Parking Brake could be set (even slightly)
The parking brake light comes on when you engage the parking brake. Pull the parking brake release handle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the brake light also comes on if the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low ( in your engine compartment )
Check your brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment when it is low your brake warning light will come on
Check the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment and see if it's low If you are talking about the "Brake" indicator on your dashboard, it could be that your brake pads are worn and need replacement. My daughter had that issue on her 1999 Ford Explorer. After I replaced some very worn brake pads, she told me that the brake light issue went away. Hope this info helps.
no the bar light on your instrument panel that is located on the trunk of the car diagram would light.
Yes , the " BRAKE " light in your dash lights up if the emergency / parking brake is on or if the brake fluid level is LOW in the brake master cylinder in the engine compartment
The light assy has to come off and there a couple of screws you get to from inside to remove the light.
