Usually, when you release the emergency brake handle, the little brake light on the dash goes off. Well, for some reason, the one in my 93' 240 does not. What would be the cause of this, and how can I fix it?

Tnanks! :cool:

There is a sensor inside your brake master cylinder that lights up the brake light when there is low fluid inside the reservoir. Check your fluid level.
