The last couple of days, there are times my brake light is still on when I take off the parking brake, but only for a few minutes and then it goes off. It doesn't always do this though.

The brakes are in good condition, fluid level is proper, no leaks, and had a new brake resevoir, clutch resevoir, and DOT 4 fluid put in 2 months ago. Also, no bad or strong odors.

My guess is that maybe the parking brake needs to be adjusted and/or lubed. That hasn't been done since I've had the car.

How do I adjust the brake? That self adjusting thing is just a bunch of BS if you ask me. Is there any part of the brake setup between the handle and the brake that should be lubricated, and what should I use?

Yes, I did try a search, and didn't find anything that helped me out.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or info

BTW, it's the light on the dash, not the lights on the back of the car

 

Interested too...mine does this when it is really cold. I'm guessing the contact to the switch under the center console needs adjusting.

 

Really cold in florida? It is 25 degree's with a 25 mph wind chill here. And that is not cold in relation to some areas. I wish I was there with you.

 

 

Don't be hate'n...I had to put a jacket on today...dropped below 60.

 

this happened to me in my Prelude...the e-brake probably needs to be tightened (in my case at least). in the Prelude there's a location for it behind the center console, but i'm not sure about the S...

the light in the dash doesn't just come on when your e-brake is engaged, but since you checked everything else you should be ok...

 

It's not the e-brake switch, or the e-brake cable adjustment. It's the brake fluid level switch inside the master cylinder reservoir. This has happened on several S2k's. The only way the switch is sold is with a new brake master cylinder.

 

did you spill a coke in / on the ebrake area?

pull up the center consol and clean, maybe spray silicone as a cleaner?

 

I swear I'm not lying

 

No soda spilled. Did pull up center console to see what I could find. Lubed ends of cables and the spring and the end. Also made sure the "switch" under the lever was clean and had a good contact. Also tightened the nut a little between the spring and cables. Will find out later if this worked
