e-brake light

[lp216]

Hi everybody, I have a little problem with my e-brake.
The light in my dash don't want to go off (bang)
I've check the brake oil level and its fine.

Anybody have an idea?

FYI: Its a 2001 MP3 car with a 2003 MSP engine, so the car don't have the ABS and the speedo dont work also.

i had the same problem and it was the brake fluid for me, it wasnt even that low, more in the middle but i topped it off and the light went away.

It's more like at the 3/4, but i can fill it more to check...

For the pad, i dont really know, but i think they are good...

Yes, barely any drop in fluid level will cause the light to come on. It's real sensitive, I guess.

...Which is probably a good thing, since it's your break and your clutch fluid.

LOLLL, I didn't even know i had a hydrolic clutch, i always thought i have a cable clutch. (I have the car since 2 month from now, I'm still learning everyday about my car )

Good to know

OK, i filled it at the max, and the light is still there

Anybody has another idea of what can it be?

might sound dumb, but is the brake handle all the way released?
You never know

your speedo doesn't work?? that's pretty dangerous with the popo lurking around.

LOL yes it is. When I bought the car it was already like this.

And for the speedo, I can know my speed with the RPM

Its because the car dont have ABS, and the speed sensor on the MSP is on the ABS sensor...

i bet its the pads... cause when my break pads are low and its time for a change the ebrake light comes on..and after i change em its gone

Allright, I'll check for this soon.

How can i know that my pads are low?
