I've noticed recently that my brake light has started coming on in cooler weather when I brake. Sometimes it only flicks on when I'm braking, sometimes it stays on while idling and then goes off when I start moving again, and sometimes it just stays on the entire time i'm driving after I brake initially. it doesnt seem to matter whether the motor is warm or not, but what the weather is like outside. I have a 2003 P5 with about 14k on it and have never had work done. And yes, I know the e-brake it not on
I'm getting mixed reactions from people-- some say it cant be the fluid cause the light isnt hooked up to it, some say it cant/can be the pads (there is no squeeling at all) some say the light is just sticking, but then why would it come on only while braking?
I dont know much about P5s (I owned a geo before and did most of my own work) but I'd hate to bring it in if its just low on fluid. However, I dont even know HOW to check the fluid in this car, and it IS under warentee so I dont want to screw with it....
Any advice? I tried a search and got nothin...
