Yea i actually have the same problem…light won’t go off…when it first happend…everytime i’d make a sharp turn to the right…the light woud go off…otherwise it would stay on…weird? i think so…the switch is probably loose or not engaging/disengaging properly…we probably have to take off the trim to get at the switch…maybe its a visible problem that just needs fixing…if you find out how to fix it let me know…Thanks bud ---

yea as soon as your pads wear big time the fluid goes low, then the ebrake light comes on to warn you. and when the other guy was taking turns it would go off cause the fluid would lean to the one side the sensor is on and the bolt rite under the e-brake is threw the lil hole in the handle, 10mm deep
