I have a '99 XLE V6 with the following mysterious light indication yesterday, I didn't get any manuals with it and wonder if anyone has experienced the same problem.
The emergency brake indicator came on after I started driving yesterday, but then it would intermittently go out. After dinner this light seemed to only come on when I had my foot on the brake and go out when I lifted my foot off the brake. I bought the car 3 years ago, and the brakes haven't been checked -- could this light be used as a low brake pad indicator like the so called brake squealers?
The weather yesterday was quite cold and wet (snow) and I thought that maybe the emergency brake cable could have got frozen from slush being thrown up underneath -- is that common? I never experienced anything like this the past two winters.
