BREAK LAMP Light On

[paulhenrick2k8]

Okay, I have this problem on my car. The Break Lamp warning light is always on. I already filled the break fluid to max. Do you think there's a problem on my bulbs. Are they expensive?

The "Brake" light on the upper right of your cluster indicates either the hand brake is pulled, or you have low brake fluid.

The "Brake Lamp" light in the lower right, on the picture of the car, indicates a brake light bulb is burnt out.

Bulbs are like $5-10. The # is 1157 or 2057 To find out which one is burnt out, go to an auto parts store and back into a spot up near the windows. Push your break and look into the windows through the mirror. You should see the reflection and be able to see which bulb is burnt out... If that doesn't work, just ask an employee to see which bulb is burnt. I'm sure they will help...

I have the same problem, but it's because the cap on my MC is faulty, need to replace...if I pop the hood and tap the lid, it goes off, but comes back on when I stat the car again.

but it seems that there's nothing wrong with the bulbs. I stepped on the break and my friend said all rear lights are working. do u think I need to change all the bulbs or is it a faulty socket? Thanks for help guys!

Hmm, try replacing your 3rd brakelight bulb first. For some reason, when the bulb gets old it triggers the "brake lamp" light. Happened to me... it is type 1156

If that doesn't work, you may have to bypass the unit that makes that light turn on... There is a DIY somewhere.

^^^YES^^^

If you are talking about the BRAKE LAMP warning indicator lamp that is located inside the little car picture on the cluster there is a DIY that you can do to solve it. If i can remember you have to ground the green wire. Do a search and you will find it.

[CB7@_@TrAnCe]

its in between your 2 rear speakers on the glass

[randomcustoms]

you'll have to get to it from under the back dash, so access from the trunk is the easiest

have you check your bulbs??? if they are good most of the time its your brake paddle... check if the rubber piece is still on it to activate if you are stepping on the brakes or not...
