When I push on my brakes, my brake light comes on. They seem to be working fine though. It only happens in the moring when it's cold or wet outside. In the afternoon, the light does not come on at all. It's like they have to warm up or something. What's up with that?:eek:

Check your brake fluid level. It will do that if it is low.
Then there is the problem....why is it low? I may be just because the pads have worn a bit and it takes more fluid to fill the lines.

I would add fluid. when you hit the brakes the fluid drops lower then the sensor.

Yeah, sounds like you need new pads. My light was doing that for a while before I put new pads on, and now everything is peachy :D Reason it does that is because the lower the pads get the lower the fluid level gets, and the car thinks it's running low on brake fluid.

Mine did that, turns out the rear pads were worn out. Go to A & B Brake and Alignment in Tyler, they are the only people I like working on my brakes!

yes yes believe them all...dont add fluid though...just have the brakes done and when they push the pistons back the fluid will return to the correct level. And change your pads and rotors to high performance one while your at it...like hawk,ssbc,brembo, stuff like that...going quick needs to stop quick
