Hey guys, in my S14,the BRAKE light illuminated at all times, even when the ebrake is down and my brake fluid is at level and has full pressure, it happens up until ill shut my car off after a 20 minute drive then start it back up, or if i slide a corner....any insight on what it might be?

PS-the EBrake doesnt lock my rear wheels anymore like it used to and the cable is tight

Its probably the low brake fluid sensor.

How much life is left in your brake pads themselves? Might want to check those as well.

Your alternator might be going bad.

The battery light would come on if the alternator was bad.....

its a possibility if brake and battery are on it could be the alternator

ill check my rear brake pads, but it only really happens when the cars cold, after its 100percent warm, its normal?

Reservoir full? Brake pedal grommet still there? E-brake switch toggling?

adjustment on the ebrake handle is also an option. the ebrake switch could be stuck in the wrong position. there are many different reasons for the light to be on. Without us being there we can not diagnose the problem properly.

call your local nissan parts dept that can help you with the part. your brake grommet most likey broke. the new grommet will be white and you place it behide your brake pedal. you are welcome

^^^Who the hell buys replacement brake grommets? Stick a bolt and nut in there, dont ever have to worry about it breaking again.
