Emergency brake light

[matty2013]

In the mornings and evenings when I go to my car and it's cold, my E-Brake light is on for about the first 15 mins of my driving. I don't leave it on unless I'm on an incline, yet it comes on anyway. this just started happening in the last week as it got a bit colder here.
Any ideas?

Cold brake fluid? Any ideas?

is it the e-brake light? cause that is a mechanical switch right under neath the e-brake that could be sticking...in that case you need to pop the bezel from the shifter and lift the center console part with the cupholder out...clean the switch...maybe replace it if it's broke....

on the other hand...if your talking about the brake light...your brake fluid resorvoir could be low....so check that...fill if need be...

check ur brake fluid level.. it's on the driver-side near the firewall

yea, its prolly the brake fluid level....which also means your brakes are getting close to needing replacement. and for it going away, thats the fluid warming up and expanding.

It's really the e-brake (!) light. My rear brakes I did about a month ago and front's were done last summer. My guess is maybe the brake fluid

the only way the fluid gets low is if the pads are getting low.

unless you have a leak somewhere.
