I dont know why but when I take a turn fast it comes on. Then sometimes it goes off right away and sometimes it stays on. Weird huh? Anyone have this happen or have any ideas?

Take out your center console. And the sensor's right there. It's kinda ghetto too, just like a screw that's inside this U shaped thing. But yeah, check that.

wtf? dude this has been covered and it has nothing to do with the center console. The solution is to take the hard lines off the master cylinder. and do 10 panic stops from 110 mph.

it's not regular brake fluid.
he said E-BRAKE light, so it's his E-BRAKE fluid
DUH!!!

also check blinker fluid cause they go out about the same time

Brake fluid? Yeah right. Naw man, check your brake pad shims.

[edit] Awright! My first post on Zilvia and a knowledgeable answer too.

welcome, but what do shims have to do with a brake light coming on in turns?
More likely worn pads, next a leak, after that other problems...all discussed in the linked search.
But hey, i'm no expert on brakes by anybodies standards, so...what do brake shims have to do with the light coming on?

on the 240? nothin.
its worn down brake pads, most certainly the passenger side rear.
I'd change the rear pads, THEN bleed the brakes with new fluid (it needs it anyway) and it will go away.
