Ok, so for the past two days my parking brake light hasn't turned off even when the e-brake is off. It happens in the mornings on my way to school, then when i get out of school it works normal. Then it happends on my way home from work every night. All I can think is that it has something to do with the cold weather. I know the e-brake is off and I have tried putting it on, then off but the light just stays on. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it?

are you talking about the Brake light in the car? Have you tried to check your brake fluid level?

If it's not the fluid, it's probably that little sensor that gets stuck when it's cold. Mine always does it when it's cold. As soon as it warms up a bit, it'll go off. There's a post about it here somewhere where they explain where the little button/switch thingy is. I'd find it for you, but I have to get back on the clock and go back to slaving...er...work.

Mine used to do that. I fixed it by removing the brake fluid cap and straightening the wires a little bit. Replaced cap and it's fine.

I had that situation on my 86 Prelude. Left the car at the airport long term parking. When I got back battery was dead, and the center top rear brake light fitting showed melting signs. After jump starting car, found that the brake lights did not go off. Found that a fitting at the brake pedal had broken off and the brake pedal could not shut off the brake light switch. Installed new fitting and problem was resolved. Found that brake lights activate even with ignition turned off, that's why mine drained the battery. Normally the spring on the brake pedal will shut down the brake light switch.

My '00 base is doing this now too! Mostly when it is cold outside and in the mornings. The parking brake light in the gauge cluster stays on. Most of the time it cuts off when the car is warmed but will also cut on and off at weird times. When I replaced my shifter bushings and removed my center console, I checked the wires on the ebrake handle and the little switch. Everything seemed ok. Is there another sensor I can check, somewhere outside of the car? In the brakes perhaps?

*sigh* I swear, this car has more quirks than a one-eyed, left-handed, hemophiliac, retarded kid with OCD. :\

Its also an indicator to check break fluid. This has been covered many many many times. Pull the brake fluid cap and move the float up and down a few times. I elected to get a new one.

This happened too me when it was super cold up here. Pushing the brake pedal all the way down fixed it. You may need to do it a couple of times.
