Just wanted to see if I could get any info here before I take my car into the shop so I don't get ripped off.

The other day, I noticed that when I hit the brake pedal and come to a complete stop, the red brake light on my cluster has been coming on. When I tap the brake pedal it does not come on. Only when I am at a complete stop... when the brake pedal is pressed at like 90% or so down at a complete stop. When I release the brakes, it goes away.

My brake fluid is full, front brake pads are good, the rear is at like 15% and the emergency brake handle is released all the way down.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Not a big deal.

E-brake light always on..

Check your Break fluid pot level and topup if less.
I had the same problem and it was damn easy

Read the OP, he said brake fluid full.

check the flot under the brake fliud reservoir cap. Move it around a bit. I think it might be getting stuck.

Have you noticed if this happens more during colder weather? Reason I say this is I have the same problem only when it below say 40 F something. The light is coming on from the sensor on the float on top of the fluid reservoir. I've replaced the thing and it still comes on at time. Just keep a check on your fluids (as everyone should) and ignore that light.

It's a defective part. Another user even posted the TSB number for it in the link I posted. Really nothing you can do about it since you can't lubricate the float. Anything you put on it would just end in your brake fluid.
