Question
My emergency brake light started coming on while driving. It flickers on and off. My emergency brake is not set, I never use it. How do I get it to stop? Thanks, it's a 98 Toyota Corolla.

Answer
Open the hood and check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir, if it's below the minimum line add some brake fluid until it reaches the maximum line, low fluid normally indicates brake wear so I recommend that you have the brakes checked.
