Why does the brake light on the dash come on when you apply the brakes but goes off after you let up on the pedal?

There is a brake circuit balance switch that measures when the two seperate braking systems in you car do work equaly.
It usually means the fron or rear brakes have a problem.
Look for low brake fluid, leaks, air in the system, worn rear brakes.
