Parking brake light is on???
So my 2000 Ex started showing the parking brake light as if the parking brake was on...however it is not. Anyone run into this? How, or what do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks,
Trevor

I think your return e-brake spring is getting weak and won't allow the rubber bumper to push in (engage) the off switch. With you hand engaging the brake release, work the e-brake pedal up and down one inch from off (all the way up). Does the pedal return tight up against the switch on it's own? See pic.
