Brake Light On Dash Panel
On my 2003 Accord EX 4 door, the Brake Indicator light on the dash is on when I release the parking brake (this is the indicator light under the seat belt indicator light). The fluid level was on the low side so I did top it off to the Max line but light is still on. Car stops good and the parking brake is not dragging. All lights parking, brakes & turn signals are working, Brake pads are good. Any Ideas

These have an issue with the "float" inside the res sticking. Disconnect the wire on the master and confirm that the light goes out.
If so, connect the wire back up.Lightly tap the top of the res with a screw driver handle and see if it goes out. If not there are some other things you can do.

Is the rubber on the underside of the cap hanging down? If it is, push it back up into the cap. Not sure if these caps even have a rubber thingy.

Remember that if the brake fluid is low that is a sign that the brake pads are almost gone. Don't just refill and call it done.
