Right on top of the brake master cylinder on the left (drivers) side of the firewall. If the fluid is any color other than almost clear it's time to change it, not just top it off. Brake fluid collects moisture very easily and that's bad juju for internal parts. Also keep in mind if you'll be working with brake fluid it's one of the greatest paint removers ever made. If you get even a tiny drop on your cars paint (outside or under the hood) wash it off very quickly and thoroughly. It's a good safety measure to put a protective cover on the left fender -- better safe than sorry. Cheers

DOT 3 brake fluid.
IN THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR.
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir, if it is low you have a leak somewhere.
Usually it's low brake fluid or a problem with the abs. Check the brake fluid reservoir. Often the brake fluid will go down as the brake pads wear and the calipers has to travel further.
If it only flickers it may be due to low fluid level in the master cylinder. Check your brake fluid reservoir.
See answer on "How do you change the front brake pads on a 2001 Ford Focus?" for a description of the location of the resivoir. The answer to this exact location is at the bottom of that answer.
