Hey all,

For the life of me, I can not figure out what is causing this.  About a
week ago, I was leaving Home depot, and my Brake light on my dash was
on.  I thought it was because my E-brake was on, so I pulled the lever,
and nothing.  I tried the E-brake and while the light got brighter,
when I pulled the lever, it just stayed on.

The next morning, the light was off, but popped back on again soon
after driving.  I had my girlfriend check my lights while parked and in
neutral, but she said they were all on.  I filled my brake fluid to the
top as much as I could, and it's still on.  Very rarely, when I start
it up will it stay off for maybe a few seconds before comming back on
after the light check.

Does anyone have any insight?  I'd like to maybe figure it out before I
drive to my mechanic.  Any ideas or comments are greatly welcome.

Did you try pulling the E-Brake Pedal all the way up, somtimes they stick
down just enough to make the light come on, and not effect driving.
