That's probibly not supposed to happen.
Check your brake fluid, probably low.
The brake fluid reservoir is probably low on fluid. It has a float in it which senses low level of fluid and turns on the light on your dashboard. If that is all right the proportioning valve in the master cylinder needs to be centered.
Check your brake light switch or fuse. You must apply the brake to get the vehicle out of park. The light switch or fuse may be faulty causing the shift interlock not to release.
The part of the car that turns on the brake lights when you apply pressure to the brake pedal is called the brake switch. Releasing pressure from the pedal causes the brake switch to break its electrical contact, turning off the lights.
it may indicate that the brake fluid is low
on the brake pedal under the dash is a brake light switch. that when you depress the brake it turns your lights on. you might wanna check that
The brake light, a red light shaped like a headlight on the dash means that one or more exterior lights are not working. It could be a taillight, brake light, side marker, license plate light, or third brake light. It stays on all the time if it's a side marker or any light besides the brake light. If it's the brake or third brake light it will come on only when you press the brake pedal.
Check your brake fluid level, you're probably low.
on my sons 95 prism i had to loosen the nut on the brake light switch and turn it in a couple turns then retighten the nut, works fine
you have some wiring problems. sounds like wires a crossed or you have a dead short somewhere
There might be a switch attached to the brake pedal. When depressing the brake, at a certain point in the travel of that pedal, it trips a switch, which turns on the brake lights. Have someone check to see if the high mount brake light is or is not coming on, too. Chances are it is that brake light switch.
The brake light in your dash will turn on if the brake fluid level is low in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment
