Default Brake warning light question?

I've got that annoying warning light on again. I really would like to know what is causing it to periodically come on? My brakes are in good shape, new o-ring pistons and seals, bled to death, and the light still comes on every once in a while.
My brakes are solid and stop evenly, is my next move to replace the offending distribution block?

My brake warning light would come on too. It was not untill I finally got all the air out of the system that it stayed off. Turned out to be another calipar seal. Be carefull, if they're faultering they can go out quick. I also had problems with my master cyl lid not sealing. Got a new seal and cleaned the surfaces up real good on the master. It sealed it up good. Gravity beld the sys out, and no more warning light.

There's also a switch that activates the light when you put the parking brake on. Check that switch and make sure it's not sticking periodically.

When my brake warning light came on, it was a bad master cylinder.
