Riddle me this....
Okay, I had a leak and replaced a caliper a while back so I figured this was related to the brake fluid being low. Now that everything is good with the brakes I'm still getting the weirdest thing happening. When I rev the car out to redline the brake light on the dash comes on for a second as soon as I let off the gas!Now what in the hell could cause this goofy business?

Vacuum leak somewhere?
BTW, I think I spotted you on westbound on the Tollway just west of 78 around 6pm tonight - single rear foglight, side markers, white style bar, black hood?
Your car looks very nice! But you might want to consider more than a cursory glance before changing lanes.

Anything's possible, but generally that light should only come on if the e-brake lever is pulled or if the fluid level is low. Maybe something is grounding the circuit to the e-brake lever switch?Originally Posted by altiain
Oh yeah? That would be me! Hmm...what about my changing lanes? You talkin about my lack of turning head around to check? That's cause my mirrors are set up so I essentially don't have a blind spot. What you doing out by my place btw, don't you live out past the airport?!Vacuum leak somewhere?

Actually I do have a leak now. Something to do with the tb/intake tube; about to change the tube with my 1.8 swap setup. Making the car idle a bit rough and when cold really rough. But that shouldn't affect the brake light.
Hmm...that might make sense. Not sure what or why something is grounded out and it only happens when I hit redline but I do seem to have a few minor electrical bugs. When I change the ac fan from setting 1 to setting 2 the idle bumps for a second!? And occasionally when I get out of the car I get shocked when I shut the door!?! ahhgh
