Mini Service and Brake Light

My mini seems to keep the brake light on for some reason, even after I release the handbrake, and the foot brake. If anyone has a solution to this, please comment. This video will remain up for educational use.

The ebrake has nothing to do with that light. You either need a brake sensor or pads replaced. Check Youtube for brake light reset. (however, if you have a light on, you obviously have something that needs attention, I highly doubt you just need a light reset.

@orangecrush03 I took it to the dealer, and they said it needs maitenance. However, I am going to replace the brakes, and then take it to the dealer for the scheduled maitenance.

So, what did you find - I just started the very same issue??

If your brakes need replacing or have been replaced recently then you also need to replace the brake wear sensors. There's one on the front (FL I think) and one on the rear (RR I think). After replacing the sensor if the light is still on then you need to put your foot on the brake pedal, turn the ignition switch to position 2 (i.e.one position beforre the one to start the engine) and wait like that until the light goes out.
