02 Ford Explorer sporttrac xlt. New rotors calipers pads and master cylinder. Bled it twice stream looks good new fluid. One day breaks stick then the next no breaks Break light on Proportional valve?

For some reason these vehicles you need to bleed brakes several times, had same problem, so air hangs up in lines somewhere it apears. When you say brakes sticks, describe it better, locked up, or dragging on rotors?

Emergency break light on inside panel comes on when break is off

1974 VB Bug, brake lights are ON when car is on...stay on when breaks are applied (so virtually driving without break lights as they are always on!

If you look underneath your bug on the driver's side where the master cylinder is you will see 2 electrical plugs plugged into the master cylinder. Each plug has 3 wires. Disconnect both from the master cylinder and see if the brake lights go out. If so, then replace both brake light switches on the master cylinder. You can disconnect one at a time and see if the lights go out that way. Which ever one that causes the lights to go out when disconnected is the bad switch. The light circuit will work with only one switch connected, so if neccessary you can get by on one switch.

BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD WHILE BREAKING

brake switch bad, system needs bled, rear brake circuit probably has air in fluid, fluid is no doubt contaminated, nobody addresses this maintainance problem, bleed entire brake system, replace all fluid w/ new. if fluid in the master cylinder is black, seals are bad, some brake systems have a pump as part of master cylinder, these pumps run off fuses , 25amp, etc., check what system you have. is your fluid level correct ? the switch I refer to is @ proportioning valve below master cylinder @ frame, see abs brakes use this valve to prevent skidding, rear brakes must come on first, before front brakes. if valve is not in balance a hard brake pedal occurs, as with low fluid levels. does your brake light come on ? @ dash. have a brake shop bleed your system, if there's a problem they'll find it for you, let them do it, don't wast your time.

Break lights staying on even when the engine is switched off and keys removed from ignition

has to be your brake light switch unusual though normally wired to ignition circuit but saabs normally have side lights wired to come on when ignition is turned on due to swedish laws
try brake light switch at foot pedal or maybe on master cylinder just remove a wire one side of switch if they go out you have your problem
