BRAKE light wont go out.. why???

I snapped my ebrake cable one day and I replaced it and soon after that my red BRAKE light came on the dash and wont go away.. When I pull the brake up it gets brighter and when I put it down it goes dim but still on none the less... what could cause this?


Thanks
Nick

If the cable snapped, you likely overextended the switch, and its sticking open.

Mine is picky, I have to jiggle it for it to work. Take out the center console and check it out, there is a red switch at the bottom of the E-brake with one wire going into it and you can see where the E-brake hits it and grounds out the light. You should get your answer easy by opening the center console and checking it out Good luck
