I'm having trouble thats beginning to annoy me. I've noticed that my brake light indicator won't go off. I took out my center console and checked the connection. I noticed these circuts connect on contact. These arrow shaped objects connect to another piece of metal to create a circut to light up the indicator... but it's still on... it's happened to me before but it went away last time. Now it won't go away at all... anyone know a solution?

check your brake fluid... may be low

Also, check to make sure you don't have any of your brakelights/taillights out. I think that light comes on when a bulb is blown as well. I could be wrong though.

Sorry, I forgot to mention it's my Hand break.

Sideways is right to check the Brake Fluid Level. The Parking Brake, Master Cylinder Resovoir Float, and the Hydraulic Combination Valve are all connected to the same Brake Indicator lamp on the Instrument Cluster. Even if the resovoir is full, sometimes the float sticks.
