i have a 98 camaro and my e-brake light will not go off. does that mean i need new pads? also my e-brake does not work.

 

Either there is a problem with the E brake switch, or more important you have a brake system problem, such as low fluid, or unequal pressure between the 2 master cylinder sections, which would indicate 1/2 of your brakes are in trouble. Get the brakes checked out.

 

i just bled the breaks and it fixed it

 

So Z28Pete was correct in the unequal pressure response
