Brake Light Question
My Brake light intermitenly comes on and off while i am driving. I read a post about wiggling the float in the brake fluid tank. Im gonna try that here in a bit.
Also i was wondering do our cars have a sensor where the dash will tell you when the pads are wearing down or do the pads have those wear indicators that squeak?

Does the brake pedal sink when holding it at stoplights? That would be master cylinder and would cause a brake warning.
Does the ABS work correctly? Another possible cause for warning light

The ABS has its own light and is not related to the red "BRAKE" indicator. The most common cause of the red "BRAKE" indicator being on (aside from the obvious e-brake being set) is low fluid. A problem with the float is possible.
As far as pad wear, the pads have audible warnings. You will notice a distinctive, constant screeching noise when they need replacing (screeching will occur whether you have your foot on the brake or not).
