Sounds like you have either a switch out of adjustment or a loose wire touching ground somewhere, which is turning your brake lamp on when you corner. Depending on where your hand brake is located, you'll probabley want to start there and look at the switch (normally located under the brake handle itself). Check for looseness or misadjustment. It is usually a plunger type switch or a micro switch. It is probably just out of adjustment from the brake handle. If not, the wire from the light to the switch could possibly be grounding out somewhere, and you'll need to check for chaffing in the wire. Hopefully this helps, and good luck.
