check and see if your hand brake or park brake is on, that should be the problem. Someone could have pulled it up when you weren't looking.

Check fluid level.

how would I go about finding the capacity of my radiators for a Jeep liberty limited 2002?

It is probably just a sensor. Car manufacturers use lights and sensors so that way you can take your car in for a check up and in turn thy charge you hundreds of dollars in doing so. I would just check the brake fluid and light bulbs. ( times out of ten its probably nothing) just check just in case

what do you know about high flow catalic converters?

You have a sensor to let u know that the pads are wearing out. Only way to make it go off is to have breaks installed, Unless its a bad switch. I took the dang things off my Mercerdes just for that reason

replace transmission or just fix problem?

Sounds like you might just be a little low on brake fluid. One of the functions of the light is to tell you when you are low on brake fluid. There is a reservoir under your hood. It's difficult to describe, but it probably has a rubber cap. The cap should tell you what type of brake fluid to use. Fill it with the proper brake fluid and hopefully it will keep the light from coming on. If not I would take it to a mechanic as soon as possible as your brakes are nothing to gamble with.
Good luck.

if refrigerating spare batteries makes them last longer then why is cold weather so hard on car batteries?

Driving with the hand break or parking break on is really bad on your breaks. If it is a hand break just push the little button and make sure it is all the way down. If it is a parking break just pull the little handle under the steering wheel. Some of the newer parking breaks require you to push it down all the way to the floor to get it to come back up.

what i the most likely problem when car does not start when battery is fine and every thing totaly dead?

It could be a Small Switch Located on the cable connected to the E-Brake (ON FLOOR MODELS YOU USE WITH YOUR FOOT) similar to this http://www.pwrtech.com/images/news/tips/... . It has a copper contact in it and can break causing a brake light to come on its a piece less than 10 dollars.

Wow!! what a neat bunch of "mechaniks" we have here. I have a question, what kind of car is it ?? year, model, abs, etc. ?? Might get a better answer. I mean could it be the starter or the water pump maybe ? Just a guess

Problems with my 1998 Pontiac Tran Sport?

check fluid level.
make sure park brake is fully disengaged,
push brake hard to floor to try and reset the combination valve- if it resets and comes back on later you have a leak, clogged system somewhere or bad sensor,
check brake system to make sure no leaks, if fluid low need to check brake system for leaks or worn pads or shoes.
try those. good luck

May be a faulty sensor, or your fluid may be low. Have it checked out.
