Question E-brake Light randomly comes on

Lately I noticed that when driving my truck, the E-brake light will flash once or twice every now and then. It usually only does this when i accelerate kinda hard and switch gears. Is this a sign from God telling me not to accelerate so quickly or is this a common problem. I'm really a little baffled on this one. I'm not sure if the cbles is set too tight or what. Any help is appreciated

Add brake fluid and it will stop. It doesn't matter that it's already "above full". Just add some Trust me on this...

If the "charge" light comes on at the same time, be prepared to fix your alternator. See here

Well it's just the e-brake light so i guess i'll just add some fluid to it and see if that helps. If not, I guess i'm gonna have to take it in

I bet it wouldn't do that if you weren't driving around in downtown Columbia...or maybe God just doesn't like USC fans! haha

Man I wish we had the little smily with the middle finger on this forum, because I would be giving it to you right now Cody Just kiddin man. Yeah driving around downtown all the time probably isn't helping the situation. Oh well I'll figure it out soon enough.

Jonathan,

Man we need to get together and wheel sometime soon. They have graded and put gravel down on most of the trials we use around here...not too fun any more. Have you found anything lately? Anyway, I got a few projects for us to work on next time we have a break...maybe at Christmas. Sorry to hi-jack your thread man. Take care bud-

No problem man. Give me a call when you get in town and we will definetly go do some wheelin. I haven't really found anywhere around here to go, but I'm sure we can find something. I plan on probably taking a trip up to Uwaharee to go do some riding up there, if I do i'll let you know. Take care man.
