Interior lights and E-Brake indicator come on when I go over a bump

I have a 1996 Ford Taurus GL. My interior lights and E-Brake indicator come on randomly when I go over a bump. In order to turn off the lights I have to pull the E-Brake release a number of times and eventually the lights and E-Brake indicator will turn off. Yes… I make sure my E-Brake is not set when I am driving… :slight_smile:



My question is both: 1) How do I fix this and 2) what does the E-Brake have to do with my interior lights?
