dash brake light 2001 Montero Sport 185,000 miles

[wallacereid]

Dashboard brake light started staying on intermittently about 20K miles ago.  It would go on/off when I set the EBrake, so I assume it's the EBrake light.  Finally replaced the mechanical EBrake switch in the center console, and that was not it.

Can someone verify that this is the EBrake light.....and not indicative of some other brake system issue?

Can I get some ideas....it's on all the time, now.

Time for brakes more than likely. As the pads wear the fluid level drops triggering the light. In my experience just doing the front or the rear will turn the light off. Start with whichever is closer to metal on metal.
