Default Brake light coming on? WTF!?!

Lately my brake lights been coming on for really no reason, I checked the switch on the ebrake handle, and it's fine, and so are the wires going into the brake fluid resiviour.

At first it would come on if I beat on my car, or went over a bad bump, but now its on all the time.

oh and my car stops perfectly fine too. and this is on my 93 EX coupe.

make sure your brake fluid isnt low. low fluid will make the light come on.

no it's not low. Like I said before there is no (obvious) reason for it to be on.

The ebrake has nothing to do with your brake lights!!!
Check the switch on your brake pedal
