Ok, when I put on my E-Brake I must of pulled the handle to hard or something. The reason why I say that is because the brake light on the dash wont turn off now. I check my resevoir and it barely needed any fluid. SO I fill it up and my light still wont go out with the e brake off. Is there a sensor or switch that the e brake touches when you pull it up? Maybe I need to mess with this switch or something else. Anyone have any ideas? Please cause the light always being on is bothering me!
Thanks!

Yes there is an e-brake sensor that is attatched to your ebrake. Remove the top section of your center console and it's a small white plastic piece, pretty easy to figure out.

Good luck.

The switches can stick sometimes, so probably just pushing it back down will fix it right up.

I missed with the switch to the e brake and that didnt work. So I disconnected the switch to the resevoir and that turned off the light.
