Today, when I started my car, brake sign came up, I checked my side brake if it was on, but it wasn't... and later few mins of driving it went off, but then it came back... I don't know what's wrong with it and mazda service center is closed today.

2nd issue is that I was cleaning off dusts from vents, there were yellow dusts sitting there...is this normal????

final issue is that when I did my car wash, some area of under hood was wet...

ppl who had same problem or experts out there, please help!! :'(

your parking brake lever switch could be getting jammed. that happened to me once when i was at the dealership so i asked about the issue right away. . .turns out that i had a piece of wire that got caught there that didn't allow the switch to turn off (my fault, this was when i was still putting togehter my install) so you can check if there is something that is hitting it and not letting it turn off

check your brake fluid. the brake light also is your fluid light. as for the dust, i don't know. could it be pollen that made it through to the inside of the cabin? water under the hood? how much? a little is fine, you can't expect the engine bay to be water-tight. if it's gallons of water, then you have a problem.

Yeah, most definitely your first problem is brake fluid levels. When the dealer shaved my rotors, they didn't fill it up all the way, so when it was even a LIL bit under the "FULL" level, the brake light went on. And I noticed a VERY LARGE increase in brake function after putting more fluid.

As for the other 2, sorry...

I agree with everyone else, check the fluid level, pollen, and don't worry about the water. I pressure was my engine compartment at least once a week.

just think about when it rains what happens... yellow dust- wouldnt worry about it. brakes, refill DOT approved brake fluid.

or just maybe reset everything, like unplugg the neg battary terminal and see if that helps, once i had a check engine light come on after i was done washing my engine bay, so what i did was unplugg the neg and everything was back to normal.
