My ebrake light comes on during moderate to hard acceleration and mild to hard turns. I have held the ebrake itself down while accelerating and turning and the light still come on. It goes away when my acceleration slows or when i come out of the turn. Any ideas on how to make this stop?
I fourth that and can prophesise(sp?) you will be replacing your brake pads soon. VERY soon!

how do you know though? the ebrake switch turns on when the circuit is completed, therefore, couldn't harsher movements cause the switch to move? i mean you guys are probably right, i was just saying if all else fails.
whaaaaaat? the ebake light only comes on when you pull it up and the switch is activated, how does brake fluid effect anything related to the parking brake?

"I have held the ebrake itself down while accelerating and turning and the light still come on."
That pretty much rules out the ebrake switch. 99.9% of the time when the brake light comes on while accelerating or turning it's the fluid.
Have you checked it yet? Takes like...30 seconds, pop hood, look at brake res. If you can't see through the plastic, pop the top off.

ya the fluid is low i plan to get some more on wednesday, but how would it have something to do with the clutch and why would my brake pads need replacing soon?

im with you, take your councel apart and see if the switch is sticking or the wire is loose.
The switch grounds when closed so maybe a loose connection.
How do you think that fluid is getting low else you have a SMALL leak in one of your lines? Brake wear right? And if it was enough to make the light on I'm betting it won't be long until you get the screech sound as you stop, thus meaning new pads needed.
