parking brake light on dash stays on (s13)

you took out the piston? didnt read that…

well yea thats brake fluid. you will have to bleed your brakes if u did that.

sry for the noob question,
how do you exactly tighten the e-brake (s13).
And is there really a preferance on how tight it is? or just as tight as possible.

Thanks!

ok thanks…i’ll check the level of my brake fluid and bleed that caliper.

and yes…about tightening the ebrake…if u bring it up about 6 or 7 notches you will see a hole in the cover. i think its a 8 or 9mm nut. i didn’t have anything long enuff so i removed the centre console and pulled up the rubber handbrake cover and tightened it with an adjustable wrench…took a looong while.

thanks for the help guys. i’ll try bleeding it tom morning

should be a 10mm nut irc to tighten the ebrake handle.

as i remember it doesnt really make your ebrake lock faster or anything. its just tightening the ebrake handle.

like the other guy said its ur brake fluid
happend to me like a week ago

How about checking you brakes? That light turns on when your fluid is low. As you brake pad wear the caliper piston stays out farther holding more fluid. Eventually setting the light. Brake fluid just doesn’t evaporate or disappear. You people really shouldn’t be working on your cars or giving advise, if you don’t know what your doing.
