Dashboard brake light stopped working
A couple of days ago, I noticed that I could not open the hatch with the
car in neutral and running, but with the parking brake set, always used to.
Then I also happened to notice that when I set the parking brake, the
"brake" light on the dashboard doesn't light up like it used to. I recently
had oil/filter change and passenger side cat done at dealer (cat was under
warranty!). Any one ever had this happen? Any ideas? I will look for wires
that are burnt or disconnected once it gets a little warmer outside, but
if someone could let me know what to look for, it would be appreciated!

Theres a small clip/switch at the base of the ebrake handle. Its copper with a single wire connector to it. When the handle is up it allows the copper switch to seperate and activate the light. When its put down it pushes the copper pieces together to complete the circuit and turn the "Brake" light off.
So try these,
1. Make sure the connector is still on the switch pin at the base of the handle.
2. Make sure the wire has continuity and hasnt been damaged .
3. Check the switch and make sure the 2 copper pieces of the switch didnt brake.
Good luck!
