Brake warning light
Is the brake warning light telling me the parking brake isn't all the way down. Maybe I need to look at a switch around the parking brake area. Or is it telling me a sensor on my hydraulic brakes is not working properly. The brakes work fine but this light comes on for a while then off for a while. I have not owned the car long so I have no history about the light. I’ve been working other bugs out of the car and this is next on the list.

On the frame under the master cylinder there is a distribution block, pull the wire off of it.
Go for a ride.
If the light stays off the problem is the distribution block.
If the light still goes off and on look at the parking brake switch.
