I've been noticing wierd noises from my rear right brake lately, so I decieded to test it. I took the car out for a drive, drove for about 10 minutes without touching the brake (deserted highway + engine braking + coasting). When I got out I felt all my rotors, all of them were only warm except the back right which was burning hot. What can I do to fix this? Thanks guys.

Oh yeah, the car drives normal and I don't notice any loss in power or braking ability. But the e-brake light stays on 90% or the time, sometimes it turns off randomly for a random length of time.

scroll down to my post...

if those suggestions dont help then you may need a new caliper, its most likely the sliding clip tho.

the brake warning light comes on when the ebrake is engaged, or when your brake fluid is low. Brake fluid can become low if there is a leak or if your pads are worn a lot. (ie. dont just top off the brake res when there is maintenance needed elsewhere, its an early warning sign.)

good luck!
