97 240SX SE Manual

Just this morning I noticed when I let my E-brake down to leave for school this morning the light on the gauges that my e-brake is up does not turn off.  I tried to put the brake back on then off and hopefully that would make it go off but it didn't!  Anyone know what could be the problem?

make sure your brake fluid is full.

Uh where do I refill my brake fluid at?

There is a low and high level on the side.  If that is fine, then the sensor under your center console may be getting pressed somehow.

I had this same problem a while back tho, brake fluid was low, put some castrol dot 3/4 in, good as new.

the brake fluid was probably your problem, but if it is low, and nothing is leaking, then your pads are getting worn, and you should probably replace them before you start braking with rivets and put nice huge grroves in your rotors, lates
