- The brake light (the idiot light on the insrument panel) in my Honda stays on
- all the time.
-
- The parking brake is kinda feeble, but it was like that before the light
- came on. The brakes seem to work fine. No noises, and reasonable stopping
- distance.
-
- I don't have much money, and I'm about to drive 1000 miles home for xmas.
- I've never worked on brakes, but I'm confident with tools and techy
- stuff.
-
- What is the likely problem here indicated by the light? How should
- I troubleshoot it, can I fix it, or can I ignore it and take off on
- my trip???
-
- The car is a 79 Honda Accord CVCC 5spd manual.

- Thanks,
