Parking brake light stays on


Recommended Posts

The handle is down and the cable is loose. I guess the plunger switch is sticking but I don't know where it is or how to get at it. Wonder if anyone else has had to deal with this. It's really not a big deal but I thought what the heck if it's easy.

 

It's on a '96 Legacy wagon. Thanks

Thank you. Brake fluid level is good. I first noticed the switch sticking last winter in the cold. I always use the P Brake. In the cold, the light would stay on and after a little driving would go off. Worked fine in warmer weather. Now it just stays on.

Also, the trigger in the fluid level can become problematic. We get a lot of false positives these days on our '96. I usually pull off the fluid cap. Compress the rubber cone piece that is stuck on the top a few times, then I put the cap back on and the problem goes away for a while.
