Thread: Brake Warning Light

check your pads for wear, and look at the top of the parking brake lever for the plunger/sensor, it may be sticking or dead, thus keeping your brake light on, my regals used to stick and stay on.

He said it felt like he was braking when he pressed the brake, so it wouldn't be the e brake. Pads wouldn't set off the light.

as your pads wear the fluid drops, but the op says the fluid is full. and a mushy pedal would make the brake light come on too, could be bad master cylinder or air in the lines, but op says he has a firm pedal.... then says the brakes seemed to fade i guess under "HBS" aka "heavy braking situation" so check for pad wear, unless the pedal hit the floor. then air in the lines or master cylinder.
