Hey,

How come my brake light stays on after i release the hand brake but it will go off after like 5 seconds... it wont come back all again unless the car sits for a while... thanks
 
Mine stays on permanently, but the brakes works like a charm. I think it must just be a bad abs sensor on mine.
 
to tell you the truth it started doing it when my rear caliper locked up and started grinding.... it would stay close... but now i replaced it and it still stays on for like 5 seconds...
 
this is a total guess, but i think it has to do with break fluid pressure. mine does the same thing and you can hear the pump running, then after about 5 seconds the pump quiets and the light goes off.
