"Brake Lamp" light on?

OK I checked all my rear bulbs and they work. Applied the brake and still all of them work. Now after driving for more than 10 minutes the "Brake lamp" light comes on. What else can it be.

they sell our special 3 dollar bulbs in a convenient $6 2 pack because whichever one is out- the opposite side will die soon
I bought 2 packs and replaced them all to be done with it

Did you check the 3 rd brake light- in the rear window- you access the bulbs from inside the trunk

Maybe its a vac leak

there has to be a filament in one of the bulbs tot working correctly causing the light. For teh price id just start replacing bulbs till it goes away

The brake fluid level float could also be working improperly. That's what happened with my '02 TL-S. $150 parts + labor to replace it.
