Brake warning light.

[bensonsnuts]

I did a search honest ,but couldn't find any reference that applied .
Drove home from work this morning and the handbrake warning light has stayed on all the way home on my 7g V6 Sports hatch.
Of course it's an import and I've got no handbook.
Can somebody tell me if Mitsubishi also use this light as an indicator for pad wear ....or is it a sign of some other problem ?

Thanks

i have this problem aswell (so many just now)
for me atleast its not pad related, i checked them all and there is plenty left.
Sometimes it comes on all the time, specially once the car is warm.
Other times it will flicker when going over bumps and stuff..

im starting to think mine is a switch issue..
unless its relating to something else, non brake related.

I'd tend to agree that an intermitent problem is a sign of a dodgy wire or switch.
Haven't had chance to check pads yet or time to leave it develop to see if mine is just a glitch.
It stayed on constantly this morning , which is why I thought of pad warning sensor .

It does the fluid level as well on the 8g, I think?

Yeah guys ur fluid level is low in the bottle, top it up and it will be fine.

its definetly not my fluid, thats for sure. i bleed all the brakes lastweekend, and rest assured there is more than enough in my bottle :) so, much so it spilt over when closing the lid again... i couldnt see the max line correctly :embarasse
