So, my brake light doesn't turn off after I've disengaged the hand brake. Sometimes it will turn off after hard acceleration, but will come back on the next time I press my foot on the floor brake. Anyone know an easy fix?

 

check the brake master cylinder fluid. If it is low the light will come on which means you probely need brake pads

 

Sorry I meant the brake light in the dash cluster. The pads and rotors came with the car brand new. And I've only had the car for a week.

 

You still need to check the fluid level If it is low the light will come on regardless of new pads or not

 

Alright so I finally got around to checking the brake fluid and it looks like its teetering on the low line. Can I just top it off or will that spoil the fluid?

 

The old fluid will spoil the new fluid that you add. You should really replace the whole fluid every three years or so because it collects moisture. Watch YouTube videos on how to do this.

 

Are you a serious???? True brake fluid should be replaced,but spoiling fluid is bs

 

It was tongue in cheek. The question was if the new fluid would spoil the old one. No, that won't happen. As long as both fluids are of the same kind (DOT3) they are compatible. You will have trouble if you try to mix Silicone with conventional brake fluid.

Again it was tongue in cheek. And in future I'll keep my attempts in internet humor in check.

Cheers!

 

Not to worry, many of us got your humor the first time around.
