Ok guys here is a new one. When ever i brake kind of hard my E-Brake Light turns on. Also when i spin tires in the rain it comes on. Does anyone have a clue whats going on?

You mean.. the e-brake light as in the BRAKE light that is on the gauge cluster?

First I would take off the center console part inbetween the seats. (two screws inside the armrest cubby, then pull it straight up near the front section by the e-brake) There is a little grounding point with a wire that runs to the e-brake so when you lift it, the BRAKE light comes on. Your wire might be barely touching a ground whenever your car moves a certain way.

thats def gunna be the problem, most car manufactuers are to lazy to make lights for everything, which is i guess good cuz i dont need a dash of blinking lights, and the e-brake light is what normally doubles as a check fluid level light. i'd go w/ rcheung and go check your fluids

I'm going to check out everything when I get home from work. Hopefully it's just needs some brake juice haha.

good good, alos check for dust on the pads too, u might wanna take san air nozzle and blow off dust, that also will cause the light, to come on

Ok i just got home i made a stop and picked up some Brake Fluid pured it in at the store drove home and never saw the brake light again. I'm going to keep my eye on it and see what happens i can't really check for leaks today it's raining out.

Definitely check for leaks. My brake light had to come on three times (with me adding brake fluid everytime...) before I finally located the brake fluid dripping out of the caliper bolt. Tightened it down and haven't had a problem since.
