Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The brake indicator light has been coming on accompanied by a ding noise and then turning off. It doesn't do it all the time. We've checked the emergency break. We think it's because we need to replace brakes but are unsure.

Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder reservoir.
I’m having the same problem but when I let up on the gas peddle the Brake lite will go off sometimes and sometime if it doesn’t it will go off when I step on n the brake ? Please help
Same issue. Brake shop said maybe bad sensor. I had them just unplug it. Light still goes on and off and beeps. I have no idea how a light and beeping happens with no sensor..
When starting from a stop, my brake light came on and a ding sound was heard. It would happen again when I shifted to second gear. Then, as I continued to drive, the light would go out. I checked the brake fluid level and it was low. I added fluid and the problem was fixed.
I never followed up on this, but what was happening is my ECU computer was starting to fail. A month or two after I posted this, it died and so did the car. $750 later and it sort of works. I said screw it and bought a new car. The Neon still sits in the driveway, technically working.
