I have noticed recently in colder weather (under 30 degrees), when I
first start my Xterra, the brake light stays on. It will eventually
turn off but the emergency brake is not and I am curious as to what
may be causing this light to stay on for a while.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bruce,
Check your brake fluid level. It may be low and after the engine
compartment heats up the brake fluid expands and kicks off the light.
Just a shot.

The light also comes on if your brake fluid is low. If its not, then one of
the switches (parking brake on or low fluid) is probably sticking in the
cold.
