Default BRAKE indicator stays on after parking brake disengaged. What's wrong ??

Guys, this morning when I left the house I noticed that my BRAKE indicator stayed on after I disengaged the parking brake. The light would come off when I pressed the brakes and back on when I released the brake pedal. What's weird is that the problem went away after a few minutes of driving. I know my front brake pads are needing replacing soon but I mt rears are fine. What could the problem be ??

Your low on brake fluid in the master cylinder probably. Just top it off a little bit and have your front pads replaced.

If that doesn't solve it, replace the master cylinder cap.

You may not need to replace the cap...
Just slide the level indicator thingy on the cap up an down a few times.
I think after a few months it tends to get sticky.
