Default brake light going off WTF??

got a 94 ls and everytime I begin to take a turn at high speeds my brake light (e-brake light) goes off and then just disapears not too worried about it just wondering why it's happening. also when I turned on my car this morning the light stayed on for like 5 min. brake is all the way down, dont understand. I have suspension upgrades if that helps.

top off your fluid. there is a float in cap to the brake fluid resivior that will set off the light. When you accelerate (or turn) hard the fluid sloshes around and the float drops a little.

you need to replace your master cylinder reservoir cap. common problem with pretty much all hondas.

I had that same problem and topping off did the trick!

the spring on the switch that turns the light on in the center console could be worn out, or needs to be adjusted.
