Usually this is caused by:
- The brake light switch is not adjusted properly.
- The brake light switch is defective.
- Or the brake pedal is not fully returning to its designed position.

Why the emergency brake light does not come on when emergency brake is applied?
The light on the dash that says the emergency brake light is on could have burned out if it does not light up when the emergency brake is actually on. In some vehicles, this light will not light up until the car is put into gear to warn the driver that the emergency brake is still on.

What would cause the emergency brake warning light in a 1995 Nissan Quest not show up in dashboard?
From the 1996 owners manual (which probably also applies to your '95): This light functions for both the parking brake and the foot brake systems. The light comes on when the parking brake is applied, and also warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light comes on while the engine is running with the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the following: 1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See ''Brake fluid'' in the ''Do-it-yourself operations'' section. 2. If the brake fluid level is correct, check the warning system.

This is normal. The 4-way and brake light share the same bulb. The brake light overrides the 4-way when applied.
