Just wondering if someone has had this problem it started a couple of days ago. I don't normally use my e-brake. It started by just flashing on/off but now it is contantly on.

Anybody have any ideas?????

Thanks

check your e brake switch near the handle this is a more commen problem on foot pedal type ebrakes but it can happen to hand pull type also
good luck

just an idea.... raise and lower the handle abit to see if its just seated a hair out of reach of the switch. if its a standard your daytime running lights might not be on. if nothing else helps pull the center console and check if the switch is good. keep us posted
