Default Need HELP!!!

I just came home and turned off car.
I tried to start it again 1 min. later and it won't.
I had some problems a week ago when the situation was the same but i found the reason.
A little indicator on main brake cilinder was gone so i connected the wire that was on that indicator to the ground and i was able to start the car but now i have red light with brake simbol on.
I couldnt find indicator so far, so today i was driving with red light on but the car was OK untill i stopped an turned it off.
How can i see if there is some error or what is the problem.

O.K.
I started the car. I still have red light on but that is because the wire is still grounded.
One thing is for sure - I'm confused.
I didn't do anything but now it starts normally.
I'm glad that this happened while i was home.

If anybody have any idea what happened please tell me because i wouldn't like
this happening again

Thanks!

I dont think it has anything to do with that little connection your referring to on the master cylinder, I believe mine can be disconnected and still start.... Its simply for brake lights.... I could be wrong or it could have changed from year to year because that would make sense...
