    Brake light coming on?

    What does it mean if my brake light come on and off when I press on the brakes hard or corner hard?

      Brake fluid is half way between minimum and full.

        Check your parking brake setup. It happened to me once.

          check the parking brake how? When I pull up on it it comes on and when I push it down it comes off and if i shake the e brake handle the light does not blink or anything. And now that it has gotten cold here lately the lights tays on the whole time I'm driving. What would cold weather have to do with it?

            Top off the brake fluid to full, see if it still happens. The light comes on when the "low" level sensor is activated. During high Gs (hehe) the fluid will slush around. Did you ever notice how the low fuel light can go on or off depending on if you're on a hill or if you brake hard? It's the same thing.

            Also, this might be a sign your brakes are starting to get worn, as the fluid has to be pushed out further into the caliper to get the pads to contact the rotor.
