"Brake" light

clacker · **Posted:** Thu Apr 29, 2010 7:51 pm

So for the past few days, my "Brake" light has been on. Its solid not blinking and started out coming on when i was driving <20mph and once i was up to speed, it would go off. Now, it seems to just constantly be on whether im moving or not. Checked the Ebrake, not that cause when the E-brake is activated, the "Brake" light will blink. Not the j6 fuse, checked that out...not quite sure what it is. i know my dealer can fix/diagnose this, i just hate taking my baby to the dealer specially when i know that im skating on thin ice as far as my warranty goes, so just try to steer clear of them unless its something i cant handle on my own

Well you have a issue with the braking system,may be a simple switch or level sensor.The brake light can be caused by a issue with the ABS system also,and no the ABS light does not have to be on also.

I was feeding power wires under my dash and knocked loose a grey box that had a push switch on it. I didn't think much of it at the time however when I went to lock up the Jeep I noticed all 3 brake lights were on steady with no key in the ignition. I put the box back in the bracket properly (I hope) gave it a twist and everything is normal. You may want to check yours.

I hate to state the obvious, but have you checked your brake fluid level?
Low fluid will cause the "brake" light on the dash to illuminate.

I know this post is extemely late, but to conclude this issue... it was actually the fluid sensor. free replacement under warranty
