Question brake light

My brake light keeps coming on once in a while. Usually when I start the car every morning and won't turn off until maybe 20 minutes later. Any ideas?

If you mean the on on the panel (not rear brake light), check E brake sensor first, and if everything is fine there - doesn't stick, nothing bent - check the sensor in the brake fluid reservoir. I assume you already checked the brake fluid level...

I think brake fluid contracts when it gets cold and expands when it gets warm. My light would come on early in the morning when I lived in Kentucky, but after driving about a mile it would go off and stay off as the day warmed up. Just add a little fluid and you will be fine.
