If you mean the brake warning light on the dash, this indicates worn disc pads. Get them checked out.

2006 Ford f150 xlt supercrew abs light comes on and off periodically mostly when I'm on rough roads, hit a bump or braking at high speeds brakes pulsate ( brake chatter) or feel Spongy at times

high speed and heavy braking will produce a pulsation in the pedal
that is the abs working properly and the pulsations are the brake release and reapplying
intermittent abs light indicates a wire or wheel sensor problem at one of the wheels

2006 Buick rendezvous traction control alarm going off periodically and service traction control system soon lights turn on. Also lights indicate that my abs and parking brake have been disabled

Need to get the codes read. Probably a bad wheel speed sensor which will require a replacement wheel hub assembly. All of those systems rely on the wheel speed sensors to operate properly. The brake light is not indicating that the parking brake is disabked, rather that the is an issue with the braking system

Why does brake light come on periodically

If the red brake warning light comes on periodically, make sure the parking brake is completely released and stays in the up position, and check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.

I replaced a cracked rear tail light with an after market new light. Now the brake light won't work but reverse lights and directional signal do. The bulbs are fine as I've moved them around and...


  • If there are no brake lights period the check the stop switch (brake light switch)
  • This is attached to the upper part of the brake pedal itself. Should be a little wire off of it. When that goes bad the brake lights will not work at all.
  • Please note that the fuse for "brakes" is ABS only and has no bearing on the brake lights themselves working.

The abs light is on and the brake light comes on and stays on even if the van isn,t moving and foot is not on the brake peddle

It is probably a warning that you are low on brake fluid. As your brake shoes wear out you need more and more brake fluid to push them against the rotors so you should always periodically check your brake fluid and keep the resevoir full.
