Parking brake light turning on and off while disengaged

[LaserRed5.0]

My parking brake light keeps flashing on and off when it is disengaged, while I am driving. Does anyone know why it could be doing this, or ever had it happen to them? How can I get this to stop?

Uh, have you checked your brake fluid level? I think that sets the light off, if it's low?

^ +1 check your fluid level.

hm. i didnt know that... my friends supra does that, its a short in the wiring.

but check your fluid, its easier than tracking down wiring. lol

Huh, kinda surprised I did! That's 1 of the 3-5 things I now know.

if you find that the fluid is low. the next step is to now check your brake pads. as the pads wear the piston pushes farther into the caliper and the space behind the piston is filled with the brake fluid. and that is why your brake fliud goes down and you can't find a leak.

if your fluid is fine, try tightening the cable on the Ebrake
