parking brake light is on????

[albanianbenz]

When I use the brakes on my C230K the parking brake light comes on. Does anyone know what this means? Has this happened to anyone else? Any input is helpful thanx.

sure it's not the brake wear indicator?

[albanianbenz]

its the one next to the light that shows that a bulb is burned

[vbrock1137]

That'd be the brake wear indicator. Means you need new brake pads.

Thanx. hmmm... what kind of brake pads or upgrade rotors while I am at it.:confused: Will need to think about this for a few days.

i would go with a flat surface brembo, none of that slotted/drilled crap, not nessicary. also looking to a ceramic/kevlar pad, it will dramaticly reduce brake dust.

hey, check your brake fluid level.
