Question Brake Light on Dash Intermittant
Under heavy acceleration at times, the e-brake light on the dash comes on for a few seconds then goes out after the initial speed is slowed down...any reason for this? Handle works properly and works fine...

Your brake pads probably need to be changed... the fluid gets low because the pads wear out. Give them a check. They could still have 50% life left tho... better safe than sorry to check..

Mine did that when I bought it and I used it to negotiate down. Kept happening, ended up being a slow leak in a soft brake line. Finally got bad enough to be able to see it.
