check panel lights on???

[smitche]

Can anyone tell me why the "brake lights" light on my check panel lights up? My washer fluid light is illuminated too, even though it's full.

haha... no. only driven it on the road once since I've owned it and that was driving it home when I bought it. It's just a project car.

yeah, it doesn't go off, even after touching the brakes. In fact, I just did the brakes (pads and rotors) and even after testing down my driveway the light was still on. hmmm

I dont know a lot about the wiring but im sure there's a loose sensor or something stupid

The brake light warning LED in the check panel will come on when the current flow through any of the brake lights is less than normal. The wrong or aged bulbs, corrosion in the sockets or connectors, a bad ground, or a bad brake light switch can cause the LED to light.

My washer fluid check light has been on since I bought my barn find and after checking everything a number of times I realized the float switch was upside down..lol

180 degrees later and all is well in LalaLand :-)

Thanks for the replies, I also noticed that when I turn my headlights on the low beam check panel light comes on, is that normal? I just replaced the bulbs.

I don't mean to thread jack, but I have the exact problem.

Everything is working well. But for some reason, they just want to light up when they want to get my attention. Last night, almost everything lighted up on my way home. For awhile there, I thought my right low beam was busted, but when I turned the lights switch off, and on again, it was ok. The others were like false alarms.

Voltage?
