Triangle light on my dash won't turn off when I go to drive it

Asked by Brian Jan 01, 2022 at 03:34 AM about the 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT Comfort Crew Cab

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Xlt's (I guess the correct
name for it is safety problem light (the triangle with the ! In
it)) e brake light wont turn off. This is My only vehicle to get
around to and from work/ errands with and I don't want to
mess up my truck. How do fix this issue? It started out only
coming on every now and the like when I'd go over a really
rough road or pot holes. But now it's on all the time whether
my e brake is engaged or not. Please help, any advise
would be appreciated.

An E brake light on will indicate the brake is activated or you are low on brake fluid. I would first check the brake reservoir, is the fluid up to the max line? If not, add some till it is and then inspect the truck for where it leaking from. Usually it will leak at the hoses around the wheels or the metal brakes lines will rust if you live up north. If the reservoir is full, I would have your mechanic check your E brake cables.

I have a 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 4.6L V8, i drive for work a lot, the other week i am going down the highway at about 70mph and start to switch lanes ( turning slightly to the left) on a left turning curve, all of a sudden my steering whell breaks over slightly and i hear a intermitent grinding noise. When i turn back to the right the noise stops. Now tonight on my way home i am driving straight down the road and my whole truck starts to wobble extremely hard, i mean the front is moving left and the rear is moving right and going back and fourth until i turn the wheel to the left or right. Im not sure what it could be possible wheel bearings? ball joints? something in the steering? 19 Answers
