I dont think they both use the same waring light, check the switch on the handbrake, and make sure its connecting and turning off correctly, could be a bent or broken bracket.
A ROUND YELLOW CIRCLE LIGHT WITH LINES ON EACH SIDE MEANS BRAKE PROBLEMS FRONT BRAKES OR REAR BRAKES HAS A FAULT. NOW IF CIRCLE HAS LINES INSIDE YOUR POWER STEERING FLUID LOW NEED CHECKING.THE WARNING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF WHEN PROBLEM FIX.
Check the switch under the handbrake lever, it may be out of alignment or broken or it may have a wire shorting out which is causing the dash light to stay on.
check your brake fluid level i had same problem on a different car with handbrake light staying on and when i checked brake fluid it was on minimum light went back to normal after topping up fluid in the reservoir check the fluid "DOT" rating before buying this should be on the cap (ie DOT 4 fluid only)
This is normal operation. The XL-7 has daytime running lights and automatic headlight controls. You can keep headlights off when starting by applying the handbrake. If / when the daylight sensor on the dash determines it is evening and turns on the headlights, they will come on regardless of the handbrake position; and obviously, if you want to move the car, you have to release the handbrake (and headlights come one).
Ok Lisaa, is it the brake light that's coming on, or actually a light for the handbrake? If this light is for the handbrake, check the handbrake the next time it lights up, by doing this, push in release button and push e-brake down as far as u can. Does the light go off? Sometimes if the e-brake is on just slightly, the dash light will go on. I am not familiar w/ Mitsubishi dash warning lights, but usually there is only one brake warning light and it's an indication of a brake problem. Give me any more info that u can, if it's the brake system warning light u need to get it checked out asap. How much fluid did u add, and have u checked it again? Let me know, countrycurt0
