Brake light won't go off
Like the title says, My brake light is on, and won't go off. I can pull the E-Brake, and set it back down, and it still stays on. It came on the other day while I was driving and hasn't went off since.
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing it?

Yep, check the master cylinder. If it's low, check for leaks. If you find no leaks, check your brake pads/shoes.
Also, the sensor for the e-brake could be stuck, but not likely.

Okay, I will check that tommorow. Now that I think about it, I noticed a lot of road-grime on the right-rear wheel, I just finished replacing the axle bearing on that side, so I had the brake caliper off. So it may be leaking from there.
But I also never hooked my e-brake back up when I put it all back together, it was being a pain so I just bailed on it. Could this have something to do with it?

Okay, just went out and went ahead and checked the level. It was low, about 1/4" above the "MIN" line, I put some fluid and filled it up all the way.
I had another question, but I forgot what it was.

yup yup i had the same problem and i seriously thought that it was my e-brake. i kept releasing it and pulling it back up so many times but nothing changed. while i was replacing my cmc i saw that the brake fluid in my bmc was low so i toped it off and the brake warning light went away. how stupid was i to not think of low brake fluid level? well now ive learned my lesson so in the future if my brake warning light is on and wont turn off i know where to look for first.

I will have to wait until tommorow before I know for sure, it's a tad late around here, and i'm sure my parents/people across the street wouldn't appreciate me making a lot of noise with my exhuast on a sunday night, especially the 'rents.
If this doesn't fix it, it will give me an excuse to buy parts, My bank account isn't struggling anymore, so I like excuses.
