my ebrake light will go on pretty randomly it seems. seems to do it the most when i spin the tires in the snow.... it usually goes off quickly so i dont worry about it, but the other day, it stayed on for quite a while... that normal? maybe it acually does come on for some reason..

maybe thats why my truck will jump around and ˟˟˟˟ sometimes when im just starting... i thought it was my clutch, but it will only do it sometimes. maybe its my ebrake sticking?????? i dont really know what my question is.. i guess.. is it normal for the light to come on sometimes, and could it be possible thats whats causing my difficulty starting out occasionally.

thanks. rowan.

 

there was a thread on this just a few days ago...

check your brake fluid level

 

i tried searching, but couldnt really find anything... any other help?

i found a couple things but they weren't the same problem. i dont even think it's doing anything.

 

well, im gonna take it in for the 30k service. i'll have them look at it.

how hard is it to fix a throwout bearing? i dont know what it is really, either. haha that'd be nice to know. if anyone wants to make me a little smarter that'd be great!

 

Throwout bearing is part of your clutch. You have to remove the transmition to get to it, not at all easy IMHO.

Start with checking brake fluid level and the switch on the e-brake lever.

 

To get rid of the flashing e-brake light fill up the reservoir to above the full line. I had the same problem and topping it off a little more cured it.

 

well thats a good idea but i dont know how to do that either. yeah go ahaed, make fun of me.

 

Ok, just open your hood and on the driver's side of the firewall there is a black pancake shaped cylinder that is the brake booster. Coming off the brake booster is the fluid reservoir. Just top it off to the top of the "full" line.

 

ok thx ill check it out.

can i just go to VIP or the dealer or somewhere and get brake fluid?

 

You can get brake fluid at any auto parts store.

 

stopped at vip yestarday and filled up the brake fluid to the max line....

no more light coming on... thanks guys!
