        well turpro beat me, but the center console is easy to remove, and the switch shouldn't be to hard to look at. anything after that, i don't know, i would suggest to see if it is sticking, but if it isn't i don't have anything to suggest. let us know what you figure out

          Try unplugging the sensor at the Master and shorting the wire from the car to that sensor.
          Sometimes if you bled your breaks or had a leak and the pedal went way down it causes the switch in the master to stay "low" .

            hey guys
            i checked my break fluid level nd its absolutely fine and i checked the switch and nothing changed. He went to the mechanics yesterday to get some new tyres and the reason why the light was on was because some air had found its way into the break lines.
            thanks for you help guys
