2005 Prius (second gen)
She drove about 25 minutes mostly on the highway, pushing 70 mph. As we pulled into the parking lot of our destination I noticed from the passengers sear that the dash was suddenly lit up. That’s when we figured out that the ebrake was still on (the warning light to disengage the ebrake before driving doesnt work on my car.) Brakes smelled like they were burning. I just replaced my rear drum brakes and brake cylinders last month and I thought that maybe if we let it sit overnight the dash lights would go away. The next morning I took the covers off and inspected the drum brakes, brake cylinders and brake line and saw a little fluid on the seals, but no other obvious damage. I’ve driven around 200 miles in the last few days since (out of necessity) and the car feels normal, but please advise me if I’m wrong. I also marked my brake fluid was when I changed my brakes and the level has not changed. The dash lights have not gone away. Any suggestions??
