Check the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder in your engine compartment

and see if it's low

If you are talking about the "Brake" indicator on your dashboard, it could be that your brake pads are worn and need replacement. My daughter had that issue on her 1999 Ford Explorer. After I replaced some very worn brake pads, she told me that the brake light issue went away. Hope this info helps.

If a 1991 Nissan brake light inside the car comes on but turns off after 20 plus minutes do you need new brakes or brake light sensor?

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.
