My emergency brake light is on after I stop the car then stays on till the car is shut off. Then turns back on after the first time I use the brake. What would be possible problems? Or more information you would like to know.

How does the brake pedal feel?

The parking brake cable could need to be adjusted also.

I did the compression test 1- 98psi 2-100psi 3-102psi 4-99psi 5-100psi 6-101psi. That seems good I looked and it said all should be 100 psi. I had my tranny serviced and the car stays cool the temp light wont come on but when I shut the car off after driving for awhile it is boiling or bubbling in to the reserve coolant tank. What dose that mean?

Do a pressure test on the cooling system.
And also do a pressure test on the cap to make sure it's holding the correct amount of pressure.
