Changing reversing light on a focus?

Why does the Brake light stay on in your Ford Focus 2001 ZX3 do your brakes need changing or what else could that light mean?

• Answer:

  Hi, It could mean that they need changing, but on my Escort when the emergency brake lever is pulled up just a notch or two, even though it's not actually engaged, the brake light lights up. Try releasing the brake lever and see if that solves the problem. Hope it helps, Cubby Hi, The emergency brake lever may be engaged by a notch or two causing the light to come on. Try releasing the brake handle and see if that clears it up. If not, then it's probably time to visit your favorite mechanic. Hope this helps, Cubby Hello, I also had that same problem in my 2000 ZX3, I disconnected the E-Brake Wires and the light continued to stay on and after a couple weeks of driving around i finally decided to check my brake fluid , and it turns out that the sensor that is connected to the brake fluid container will cause your brake light to come on when your fluid is low, that solved my brake light problem. Hope it helps, Brian
