I've always thought it was go (make it) or stop (brake it) meaning you can either succeed and make it or not make it (like the Rangers didn't do against my Cardinals tonight - therefore; brake it or come to a halt.

applying pressure to the brake pedal
Usually in every vehicle the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is pushed in. There is a switch connected to the pedal in some way to make the light switch on.
there is no reset on the brake pads, you can check your brake pads sensors they will make the light come on
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir there is a sensor there that will make the light come on if your level is low.
Depends on the make of car, but most likely you are low on brake fluid. Check it before driving.
Yes , the " BRAKE " light in your dash will come on if the brake fluid is low or your emergency / parking brake is engaged
No. Brake rotors are sold individually specific to your make and model, but it is recommended that you always replace both sides at the same time.
Check brake fluid level in master cylinder Make sure parking brake is released Check to see that parking brake switch has not come loose from its mounting bracket
Check to see if the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder ( in your engine compartment ) is low , if the brake fluid level is low or your parking brake is on the brake light in your gauge cluster will come on
Could be low brake fluid. Emergency brake could be partly on-make sure it is pulled completely in the up position.
Typically, worn brake pads won't cause the warning light to come on. Some vehicles have a brake fluid sensor that can cause the light to come on. Also make sure the parking brake is completely releasing and if you have ABS, make sure everything is working there. Uneven brake pressure will certainly cause the brake light to come on, that's when the master cylinder is working a lot harder for one circuit (front or back) than it is for the other, indicating either low brake fluid level or damaged/worn wheel cylinders. If you can't find anything by examining the brakes, you may need to pay for a scan of the ABS computer.
