Default E Brake Light blinks when cold and turning.
Is the e-brake sticking? I have seen this happen 4x since it has been colder out during the last 3-4 weeks.

Thanks for any input.

I think the switch is right at/under the handle...did something fall down there(?)

nothing is in the way of it. it is totally down. This happens when I'm driving. the beep and flashing "brake" comes on.

Thanks,
drew

Dealer told me it could be low brake fluid or a sensor. Check your brake fluid

Is it accompanied by an ABS light?

That's my bet. Most common reason the brake light comes on without pulling the e-brake

So what was the consensus...could low brake fluid level trigger the ABS/Brake light?
