Brake light problem
My brake light in the instrument panel sometimes light up and stay lite for awhile then goes out. Is this a brake system problem or what? It also seems to happen when I park on a hill.

I have that same problem when I accelerate hard. I think the hand brake sensor needs to be adjusted so it's not that sensitive. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

im thinking the same thing, brake fluid b/c if it lights up if your on a hill or slope, its prob low. sometimes brake lights come on when its cold and would turn off when your brake/rotors heat up. oh and just to make sure, are your emergency brakes applied??

emergency brake is not applied and yes it is cold right now but also this happens off of a hill also. I will check the level of fluid and condition a let you know.

Yup, check your fluid, and LET ME TELL YOU...DO NOT LET THE MASTER CYLINDER GO DRY!! I was replacing a caliper that had been leaking, didn't top it off before I started, and as I was bleeding the brakes, the cylinder went dry! Busted up the cylinder (still working, but needs to be replaced) and had to pay Acura $300 to bleed my ENTIRE brake system. Pain in the ass!! (Although it did let me have a nice new RS-X for a day..haha!!) SOO...keep an eye on that light, and check your fluid as soon as it comes on!!
