Bad switch on the emergency brake handle.
Have you checked the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment ? a low level will turn on your brake light in the dash
The brake light is on because there is a problem with the brake system. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on. Once the problem is corrected the light will reset itself.
emergency brake light stays on
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.
Brake lighta computer sensor.It could also be low brake fluid.
Pull the release handle for the e brake and then while its pulled out pull up on the pedal
my brake light stay on but emergency brake is unhooked
That's easy... it's all in your mind, the last Chevy prizm model year was 2002
The antilock brake system has a problem. The light will remain until it is fixed. The abs will not function when light is on. Take it to your mechanic soon.
If the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low ( in your engine compartment ) that will also turn on your emergency brake light just as if the emergency brake was applied
Check the brake fluid level, as on many vehicles the "emergency brake" (in the UK, Hand-brake) warning light also acts as a warning light for low brake-fluid.
