    so since it got cold out my emergency break light has been randomly coming on while im driving....not all the time, but just at complete random times

    anyone know why this is happening? or had this happen with them before?

    any ideas? low break fluid maybe?

    Low brake fluid, not blinker fluid.
    But be sure to check the blinker fluid level as well.
