    i bought the car in the end of the fall after about a month when it started to get cold ebrake light would flicker but id push down the ebrake completely and the flicking would stop but recently makin sure the ebrake is down completly just doesnt fix the problem honestly the ebrake light is just annoying thats the problem and being that my ebrake works exactly as it should be is worst

    Prob. need a new switch for the ebrake I think a good way to check would be pull the console up unplug the sensor and put a jumper connecting the wires of the plug to see if the light goes out if that works then you need a switch
