"Brake" light on dash?

The last (3) mornings the "Brake" light on my dash has stayed on for about 20 minutes of my 25 minute drive to work. When I leave work in the afternoon it does not come on. I have checked the parking brake switch, brake fluid and the brake lights. None of these seemed to have a problem. Any suggestions?
Thanx
Dan

There are these little black box things that plug into the lights from behind. It has an electrical connetor. One or both of them may be bad. When I took the 03 tail lights off the 02 before I traded it, I droped one of them, & had that same problem. Dealer said it was shorted. They repleced it under warranty.

Do a search there's a FAQ on it somewhere. It's not hard, just remove plasitic clips, it comes right out.

FYI; the fix

It was a bad sensor on the cap of the fluid reservoir on the master cylinder. Service writer said it was more common on RSX's.
