So i changed the springs and struts on my 00 civic si yesterday and everything went smooth. Drove around last night again not was wrong. Well today when i went to town the parking break light was staying on. It will turn off when i slow down but then comes right back on. So has anyone ever had this problem, well thanks for any help i can get.

No, but that light isn't just for the parking brake, if you look at the resorvoir on top of your master cylinder you will see 2 wires coming out from under the cap. Those 2 wires come from a float switch. when the brake fluid level in the resorvoir drops to a certain level it shorts out the switch and put on the brake light to indicate to the driver that there is a problem with the brakes.
