hey there. I just got a 96 LX 4dr auto, and whenever i put the car in either reverse or drive my break light comes on. I checked the break fluid, and it's goo. Do you guys know what else could be the problem? Thanks alot!

 

Which brake light are you refering to, If it's the light down in the corner with the lamps that come on when a door is opened, then that simply means the one of your brake lamp bulbs is burned out, or a similar situation with the lights themselves,

 

no, i'm refering to the big "break" light that's up there by the check engine light. It's the light that comes on when the hand break is on.

 

Make sure the parking/emergency brake is off. If the handle is all the way down the light should be off, if not then there is a button under the ebrake handle that you should probably check, maybe something is causing it to be pressed thus the light stays on. To check under the ebrake handle you'd have to remove the center consol. That's just one troubleshooting idea...

 

My car is 94 LX 4dr auto. i met a same problem. When I start the car and turn parking/emergency brake off, the break light in the panel is on. I did a brief check. The result is:
Break fluid is full and the sensor lines are pluged to the break fluid container cover. That is the only electronic sensor related to break parts.
I doubt the there are sth wrong with this pair lines, but I have no manual to confirm my guess.
Please give me some tips.
THANKS!
