some cluster problems

[GTDrifter]

ok...recently my brake light comes on frequently...at about 20 mph itll turn on. i checked the ebrake (cause that turns it on too) and its all the way down...i stop the car, pull it and put it back down, drive off and once 20 hits itll turn back on. brakes work nicely so idk whats triggering it

also, about 6 months ago my gas guage stopped working alltogether, causing me to run out of gas about 5 times. sometimes itll turn on but usually doesnt when im low so does anybody know whats going on with that also?

third problem...( i know this doesnt belong here but i wont waste another post) theres a jingling noise coming from my tires...im pretty sure its just the front driver side but not positive. usually occurs when turning but also with bumps...im thinking wheel bearings but not sure on that

1) Low brake fluid. Top her up or do a brake flush its up to you. (read your owners manual when your bored and stuck in gridlock)

2) Welcome to the club bud. Replace your fuel sending unit $$$ or just document how many clicks you can do on one tank.

3) Sounds like your CV is going. Check you axle and find the CV boot see if its torn or leaking. Also your rim(s) should have some black residue on them from the CV leaking.

1)For some reason the brake light no longer turns on and i didnt do anything different then hook up a set of extra foglights
3)I know for a fact that the cv boots are both ripped and destroyed...i paid $300 to fix them and a week (not exagerating) later they were ripped again. I cleaned my rims and the joints never seemed to leak. Also the passenger side is the one that its pretty much off lol

My car is mysterious...random things dont work right and then fix themselves

1) The light will go away. Then come back. Mark my words!!! I'v been through this. When was the last time you serviced your brakes?

3) :-? Your CV boot is currently ripped... :smt012

Why are you even wasting time asking us this question when you know the answer? :smt021

well Huffer, if you read my first post you would have your answer...I thought it was the wheel bearing but wasn't sure, I didnt know why my brake light was on and I also didnt know exactly why my gas light stopped turning on

Think about it this way. How do you diagnose a patient who is already showing injuries? You fix the injuries first.

If you fixed your CVs you'll be able to eliminate that as a possible cause. Until then, you're shooting fish with apples.

I was just seeing if anybody knew exactly what it is. im not about to put out another $300 to fix the cv joints and have then rip right away like last time

not everybody knows automotive and when something breaks they ask people who are inclined what it COULD be
