98 Prelude
 
Anyone have and idea on why the "Brake" lights up on the dashboard when I
hit the brake. Normally it only comes on when I have the parking brake on.

And this only seems to happen when it cold outside. Once the inside of the
car warms up, it goes away.

I checked to make sure the Parking brake is in the down (off position), but
it stays on.
When it warms up in the car, the light goes out, and occasionally when I tap
the brake the
light comes on momentarily then goes out!!!

TIA

Mike

Check the fluid level in the master cylinder. Low fluid warning also lights
the brake light.

Okay, I'll check that...could the weather be a factor with it being cold out
in the morning?
