Emergency Brake light is ON while driving!!

This problem just began 3 days ago. I was driving and I noticed that my emergency light was on! then the light turned off, and as I was approaching a stop sign I hit my brake and the light went on again! 15 seconds later it went off again, and as I kept stopping the light kept going on and off. eventually it stopped after 15 minutes of driving, but the problem continues every morning when i get in my car. Does any else have this problem?

More likely than not it's your brake fluid is low and nothing to do with your emergency brake.

This topic was covered not that long ago. Use the search tool to find out more info.

I will 99% guarantee you that your fluid is just a little bit low. When you hit the brakes just enough of it goes to move the pads against the disks that the fluid sensor cuts on. As you drive the car more the flud heats up and expands so it no longer trips the sensor. If you fill it up and it comes back within a month you have got some sort of leak in your braking system. Check that out right away. I once almost got in a wreck because of that.
