Hey everyone, my name is Dave and I am currently 18 years old. I'm a pretty easy going, open-minded person that enjoys discussion and helping someone out in need.

I also enjoy music, hanging out with my friends and overall, having a good time and getting the best out of life. Please, if anybody has a question about fitness, nutrition, or anything for that matter, dont hesitate to ask, i would be happy to help anybody out.

Hey!
A red light just appeared when I went to start my car. It says "Break IP". The brakes are acting really weird and I'm afraid to drive it. What does this light mean and what should I do to fix it? I have a Ford Taurus 99. Please help if you can!
Thanks! :)
This answer below is absolutley preposterous.. A light on your dashboard that has an explaination mark and a P ussually indicates an engaged Parking Brake. All it is, is a cable that helps to hold your car in place while you are parking, so the load isn't resting on the transmission. It's also known as the emergency brake, and can be used in desperate times to stop your car, although it locks the wheels and can be dangerous at high speeds. Most of the time to make this light go away, all you need to do is find a switch (ussually located underneath the dashboard in most vehicles) that says brake release. This will disengage the cable. When I first read this question, I didn't realize that there was an explaination mark in the first parenthisis, I thought it was an I, meaning another problem. Upon reading it more thoroughly, I realized that it in fact was an explaination mark. All it is is your parking brake. Hope I helped you out! Dave
(Rating: 5) Hi! Sorry I took forever to respond! I just came back to the site and wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me in the past. :) When I read your answer again I thought it might be important to tell you you might want to update your advice if you can because that light being on was caused by my brake fluid being almost empty, not some stuck cable. Just in case someone reads your answer where you are making fun of the person who actually knew what they were talking about you don't want to look like an idiot! LOL!
