The e-brake, or electronic parking brake, is typically activated by a button located on the center console or near the gear shifter in modern vehicles. It may be labeled as "P" for parking or have a symbol resembling a brake with an "A" or a circle. Pressing the button engages or disengages the brake, replacing the traditional hand lever. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific details about its location and operation.
AnswerWhy not get the whole assembly at a salvage yard?
Find and remove the daytime driving lite relay and or fuse, or loosen ebrake adjust a little and drive with ebrake on one click or jumper across the switch at ebrake that makes lights think its on but ya didnt here that from me LOL, Have you tried to push the small button located just to the left and below the headlight switch? Press that button four times in a row. You will hear a chime and your auto headlights will be disabled. (This may only temporarily disable them. I think after you shutoff and then restart, the auto headlights are enabled again.)
In some cases you can disconnect the plug on the ebrake switch. I was able to access it by pulling back on the ebrake side cover.
Put it in gear
what knds of car do yoy have .
with your ebrake cable.
the wire needs ground to function. Connecting it to the ebrake allows it to ground so just connect the video wire to any ground and it will function as if it was connected to the ebrake
put in reverse and go about 5 then slam it into drive and gas it to the floor or u can use the ebrake and go half way so you dont burn out the transmission and make sure that your ebrake is fully tightened other wise it wont work
press your ebrake one or two clicks and leave it on
usually this is done at the ebrake itself. there are two wires going to it.
Right next to the ebrake there is a pop off plastic door. There are your fuses.
you are either low on brake fluid, the Ebrake switch is on or you have air in your brake lines. try lifting the ebrake and see if the light gets brighter. If it does, try unpluging the wire that goes to the brake master cylinder. If this don't work then i recomend taking it to a shop to have it looked at! Good Luck... Michael on my 97 es300 the brake light was staying on because ebrake inside of back rotor was worn all the way down and system was sensing this.
