LOL I have the same problem all the brake lights will work but for some reason the light comes on when you hit the breaks! there is a green wire that I figure is the sensor feed for that feature...it got lose in mine from swapping out the taillights from stock to alcheezas, to stock, to JDM knockoffs, back to stock....either wiggle the wire till its not doing it anymore and tape it in it's happy place, or do what I did and simply take out the bulb because that light is effin annoying!

oh mines a 94 too

Brake light indicater usually mean one of your bulbs is bad... Ive had it happen intermittently when one of my bulbs was going bad... Also you may want to check for corrosion in the plug...

If its the one that comes on when you pull the e-brake on the gauge cluster, you are probably low on fulid.

Really!??? I never knew that but I guess it makes sense there is the oil light indicator when your low on oil......there should be one for low break fluid too!...hmmm I check my car every morning...lights, air, fluid but it's good to know that if one of my buddies has the same problem I now know one possible cause! thanks

on the 93 accord when you pull the e-brake it pushes down on a sensor for the brake light to come one sometimes over time stuff gets in there or it gets loose and it just needs to be cleand or tightend to make it stay in place if you take off the peice surrounding the e-brake youll see it and that may be it if not im not to sure
