Parking Brake Warning Light Won't Shut Off 2

[eclipsyco]

Hi guys i'm having this little weird problem with my cluster so the thing is my cluster had 2 burned bulbs so today i decided to change them i remove the cluster replace the 2 bulbs turn the ignition on and the problem started for some reason now the brake warning light won't shut off the only post related to my problem in this forum is this http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/72043-parking-brake-warning-light-wont-shut-off.html and is 9 years old, the bulbs i replaced were the open door warning and the one the illuminates the oil pressure and boost.
When i pull the e-brake down the light dims but stays on no matter what!

You may be low on brake fluid.

Well I could go check my brake fluid level right now but it's raining, I didn't have the problem this morning when I went to buy the bulbs tho

^Yeah

Also, if you pull out your cup holder/ashtry you can see how the parking brake works. There is a sensor/switch that flips the brake light on so see if there is any thing wrong going on there. Take the connector off and it will discount the sensor/switch being the problem if the light stays on.

Ok guys I'll check both things tomorrow and see what happens! Thank you.

Yes! i'm low on brake fluid must be a coincidence then because i didn't have the problem until i changed the bulbs on the other hand tho i did a brake fluid bleeding less than 10k miles ago! Is there any chance i'm leaking brake fluid from somewhere and where could it be? the master cylinder's hoses are dry and i didn't see and fluid on the engine bay either?

When your brakes begin to wear, the brake fluid level drops because the piston in each caliper must travel further out to push the pad against the rotor.

Now would be a good time to go around all 4 corners and check the pads/rotors

Great response. Often unknown and overlooked. Bravo!!

^^^^^ Yes very true!!!! The Brake light shut off just had to refill I have and will check the pads, the rotors seems to be in good condition from a quick optical check... thank all of you guys
