E-brake light coming on randomly...help!
Well, lately my e-brake light has been coming off and on. It only happens when I accelerate into turns though, not while braking.
I check to make sure my e-brake isnt set, and its not, so what could be the cause of this? The light usually stays on for 5-10 seconds and goes away on its own.
I know that I need new rotors but would this cause the brake light to come on? It didnt do it last time I needed them.

T-Diddy might need AA counseling (jk) and most likely would win that bet. I'm not a mechanic, but that's what happened to me when my brake fluid was low. You should've bet a 6 pack while you were at it.

You know what, you guys are probably right....I had to bleed my brakes a week ago after putting my 3rd member back on. The fluid didnt appear to be low afterwards so I didnt add any. Can it still be too low even if its right at the max line?
edit: Its not at the max, its right between low and max.
