Best Answer

If you look below your brake reservoir there is a sensor that detects if your brake fluid is low. If this sensor goes bad or sticks, it will make the brake light come on. Try unplugging this connector. Your light should go off. If you are not having to add fluid periodically to the system, I would replace the sensor. If you are having to add any fluid to the system, then you probably have a leak in a brake line or at one of your calipers.

Also be sure the emergency brake is fully released.
