Ok, here's a stumper. For some reason when I press my brake even a little bit hard, my emergency brake light comes on, it looks like this ---> (!). the emergency brake is all the way off though, i've check this many times. would anyone happen to know a solution? if so, that'd be awesome. thanks.

That little light comes on when there is something wrong in braking system.
Check the brake fluid level.
Some cars have pad sensors and the light will come on when the pads are worn.

ya, I figured it out, it was just the brake fluid was low, I guess I should have checked that first :wink:
