Problem?

I noticed today that the parking brake light stays on the dash as well as the parking brake actuator even after the car is turned off. I tried locking the car and the lights stay on. I don't think I noticed this before.

I am not sure if it is just a coincidence but the Bluetooth connection to my HTC EVO also started to act up today. I think I may have fixed this problem by deleting the connection and re-establishing the connection.

Car seems to be running without any problems. Just hit 1100 miles today.

Any ideas? Is this a problem or nothing to worry about?

Will cross post on Azine.

Thanks.

Those lights should stay on for a minute or so after locking the car, but eventually turn off. Had a similar experience when I first noticed this. Stand outside the car and wait to see if they turn off. If after a few minutes they're still on, might be a problem. Let us know.

Yeah, that happens. The lights shut off in 20 seconds or so, but I'm an impatient man and sometimes find myself locking & unlocking the car with the remote quickly several times - which turns the lights right away.
