QUESTION: i meant the red light is on, yes only the engine soon lamp works but before i have the issue them all work, not anymore they did before i got this problem., i hope you can help me thanks

Answer
The red light is on for any number of reasons. Low brake fluid in the mater cylinder, The parking brake switch is on or there is a major fault in the ABS system will sometimes turn on the red brake warning light. If you could find out what codes are stored in the system that would help in finding out what is going on here if the fluid is full and the park brake switch is not stuck on..
