The brakes indicator light on the dash is on, half intensity only, but all the time.
I just replaced brake pads and the light still stays on.
If I pull the emergency/hand brake the light gets really bright. Once I let it go the light looses intensity but stays on. There is any way that I can turn it off??

Thanks a lot

That is one of the warning indicators of an ABS problem. The EBCM (electronic brake control module) uses the red brake light as well as the amber ABS light to let you know there is a problem
