Anyone ever have this problem with their T-Bird?

:confused:

Ok, here's the deal. Quite often my "Brake" light on my gauge cluster will come on. It does this when I am going around a decent curve or when I hit the brake hard. Once I get to the end of the curve or the car slows down after the braking, the light goes off.

The second problem I have is with my ABS. Probably once a week, my ABS light comes on and I can lock up the wheels. But all I gotta do is turn the car off and restart it and the light turns off and the ABS system comes back online.

Any insight into these problems?

I have the same problem with the e-brake light. Bumps in the road or hard turns bring it on. I normally just apply a little pressure to the bottom of the brake (I kick it up). This turns off the light. Annoying, but not fatal.

Ok, here is another problem with it. Now, it seems everytime I take my foot off the brake, the light will come on for 1 second, then turn off again. It's annoying as hell. Any ideas?

Yeah, the fluid is fine. Could it be maybe the brake lines need to be bled?
