Because the parking break is still on.
wow the guy above sounds like a class a genius "NOT" moron.... check your fluid level if its low it could cause it to stay on, due to lack of fluid to the system... Or it could be the parking brake switch needs to be adjusted.... but the dumb*** above is probly right take his advice and make sure that it is released hahahahah
The parking brake light comes on when you engage the parking brake. Pull the parking brake release handle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the brake light also comes on if the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low ( in your engine compartment )
The parking brake light stay lit on the 1999 Mitsubishi Montero sport the parking brake is working and you have not put the light off.
No , the brake light should come on when you press the parking brake pedal , but the ABS light should not come on
The brake light on most vehicles is not only an indicator that the parking brake is on, but that there is a problem with the system.
In most new cars the parking brake light is also activated when the linings of your brakes wear out.
Faulty or over sensitive parking brake switch or sensor.,
The red brake warning light is an indication of low fluid, a loss of pressure, or the parking brake being set.The red brake light stays on when the parking brake is set, the fluid is low, or there us a loss of pressure.
Either your parking brake is on or the BRAKE FLUID level is LOW in the brake master cylinder
the parking brake is either sticking or the sensor is bad This could also be a warning that there is something wrong with the braking system. The light is not only for the parking brake in most vehicles.
2 things could be the problem. If the "Brake" light is on that usually comes on when you set the parking brake then it could be the brake fluid is low. Check that. If it is the "Brake Lamp" light then check your brake lights. 1 of them could be out.
If your parking lights are on and your left brake light doesn't work, the brake may have burnt out. You might also have a wiring problem.
Yes , the " BRAKE " light in your dash lights up if the emergency / parking brake is on or if the brake fluid level is LOW in the brake master cylinder in the engine compartment
