brake light

we've noticed our brake light on our 1998 Grand Voyager coming on more
and more while we're driving. As far as I can tell the brake fluid
level is ok, the parking brake is not on. But the light comes on. Then
after a while it'll go off. Then back on. You get the idea.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks!

 

Hi...

I happen to have a neighbor who has one, did the same thing,
including but not limited to staying on all night in his
driveway.

Cure turned out to be easy; the shaft on the switch bottom of
the brake pedal had scored badly, and stuck easily.

Not inexpensive part, but turned out to be a total waste of time and
effort trying to clean it up, smooth it, and anything related...
change it

Take care.

We assume that you are talking about the brake warning light
on the dashboard and not the brake light?

 

Yes, the Brake Warning light, not the brake lights on the rear of the
vehicle.

Thanks!

 

He means the warning light, not the brake lights, per se.

 

you DUMB ASS- the emergency brake pedal or lever ALSO has a switch on
it, that turns on the brake warning light in the dash, when the
emergency brake is on

he doesn't mean the switch on the main foot brake that is used while
driving

so it can be the switch on the emergency brake pedal, too

you're a real mechanic, you are...when God was giving out brains, you
thought He said "trains", and you answered "give me a slow one"...

 

As far as you can tell the fluid is full? it either is or isn't? does the
lite come on at turns?

I have a Voyager where the dashboard emergency break light only comes on
when I make turns??

 

ok

 

there is a good chance you have low master cyliunder brake fluid possibly
getting close to needing a brake job check the front brakes or take it in
