Phil-  You have me a little confused.  _My_ problem seems like a bad bomb or
leaky  servo?  I was thinking the former. E-brake light now stays on 20-30
seconds after startup/driving. All fluid levels check out.  According to my
owners manual, the red e-brake indicator can come on when the brake fluid is
too low, insufficient hyd fluid in reservoir, or pressure for hyd brake
booster is too low.
