Hi,
When i press brakes, Reverse R light turns on even when engine is stopped. When engine is ON and I press brakes, car stops with shaking. I took car to mechanic and he changed PNP Switch. It apparantly fixed the issue but the other day same issue appeared again. I took to mechanic and he told there is some electrical short circuit (or some wires are not properly grounded), so he fixed the grounding issue and apparantly problem got fixed. Few days after, now I am having the same problem. The problem comes and goes, but when it comes and if the car is running, then pressing brakes shakes the car, I feel it will not stop. Brakes are working though. Some times ABS light turns ON, some times Engine light turns ON and some times there is no problem. Please guide ...
thanks,
Shahab

The brake booster could be leaking
