My e-brake indicator has been bugging out lately? On and off while I'm driving randomly? I think the brake fluid switch is bad..I have 93 Camry..I check the brake fluid its full and I checked the e-brake still 6-8 clicks when engaged.I think its the switch? Has anyone had this problem please help.

Does the light come on after you have braked hard or moderatley hard? If the pads or rotors are worn out teh level will drop in the resevior and the light will come on.

When I take a sudden turn thats when it lights up for sure.Other then that it comes on every now and then. I'm still trying to figure out whats triggering it..

Maybe its just a loose wire on the resevoir end or the hand brake end.

Top up your brake fluid to the max line, if not just above it. The sensor is pretty sensitive and even if it's within the acceptable range, it can still trigger the light.

Just remember, you might have low brake fluid because of a leak (I did), so make sure you check that as well.
