Hey guys, earlier this morning when I started up my car, I noticed the e-brake light stayed on the cluster even tho my e-brake isn't on. I drove the car to work, felt no dragging/rear brakes to be engaging at all, so I thought must be low on fluid/bad e-brake switch.
After I parked my car, I checked my fluid -OK. Checked my rear pads, not too bad 50% more or less. After that I walked away, turn on my alarm--no response. I tried locking & unlocking the passenger door from inside the car--no response, it's as if the door lock actuator on the passenger side went out on me.
Left the car for a good 8 hours, came back from work, started up the car, the e-brake light is off & I tried to lock & unlock from the driver's side & it's working again, as if nothing happens.
Now should I be worry about this? I'll be driving again later in couple hours so I'll find out if the problem still existing or not...I was going to check the e-brake switch when I get home & last resort, looking under the rear brake cable to see if it's seizing up (highly doubtful), but I figured no need to since it's non-existing at this point.
Do the e-brake switch go bad on EP3? Are these coincidence or are they related? Sorry for the long post & thank you in advanced:mredface:
