mine is starting to go on and off at random times... kinda odd that yours is on all the time, but you could need some tightening of the switch or somethin. i dunno. if mine gets that bad where its always on, ill either bypass the switch, get a new one, or try and fix it.

I got you all beat. Not only does the light turn on, but now im getting a clicking and when i push my brakes i can feel when it clicks. Im going for a tuneup, oil change, and new brakes this afternoon, if the light is still on or im still hearing the clicking, ill go crazy.

Shuluke


PS. i found a really long screw, its almost a foot long. I dont know where it came from, but i hope its not for my car.. Anyone have the slightest idea?

mine shakes when i'm braking, but i don't have the light. It shakes really abd, even just lightly tapping teh brakes. I've been told that maybe teh rotors are warped, does this sound like it to you guys?

The only place on the car that would have a bolt that long is the front lower control arms. But I don't see how it would come loose since their torqued on.

Sounds like your rotors are warped.

If it keeps happenning, especially when your already driving, make sure that your caliper isn't freezing up. Or just lubricate it. That light came on with mine a while back, and after a while it got worse until you heard a grinding sound, which was the caliper not releasing and grinding the pad into the rotor.

I agree the shaking sounds like warped rotors.
