Default Random Lights on Cluster question...

SRS Light - always on
ABS Light - intermittently on and off
E-Brake Light - just started staying on

The E-Brake light was randomly coming on and off as I was driving this morning and decided to stay on the whole ride home from work. The ABS light comes on randomly as I drive then goes off...which leads me to wonder about the random noise I hear from the front right of my car when driving. The SRS light is most likely due to whoever swapped the interior as the had to take of the steering wheel (from what I have read)

My question is...how in gods name do I fix these issues?

well.. my suggestion is as follows. for the e brake light, check under the lil center consol thing where the ebrake actually is. There should be a ground that is hooked up right in that area. check that and make sure its not messed up or anything cuz thats what was wrong with mine. The SRS light well.. not sure but what I would do is just take out the light bulb itself from the cluster that way you dont have to worry about looking at it lmao and uhm ABS I have no clue lol thats for someone else who knows about brakes I guess lol

It sounds like your car has a great christmas spirit. Be jolly car!
ABS antilock brake system - Im not sure if your car has an abs module somewhere. Buy a Haines manual and look to see. It could also be sensors are bad. SRS = Supplemental Restraint System. Has to do with your airbags. You need to get this checked out, as you don't want your air bags to deploy while driving.... That would suck gooch

1) its not an e-brake light its a brake light, it will come on if your fluid is low or when you have the brake on, have you checked the fluid?
2) low fluid in the abs box will cause it to make noise, and could cause the the abs light to come on. check the fluid level in the box too, not just the master.
3) has the srs light always been on? pull airbag off the steering wheel and see if its plugged in, its held on my a star key on either side of the wheel. the wireing for the air bad will be wrapped in yellow.

freak I appreciate a better breakdown for a non auto person such as myself...I didnt get out of work till late tonight so Ill check it tomorrow when I get off...the ABS deal makes a whirring sound so Im guessing it may just need fluid...I read up on how to check and drain/fill it so Ill handle that point tomorrow...as for the brake light itself Ill check the fluid in the morning before work...and the whole SRS thing has been on since the day I got the car so Ill start to disassemble the car tomorrow or Sat morning and let u know from there

Again thank you for the replies and the assistance
