Default 97 Civic Hx Brake Light problem.

I have a 97 civic hx, and the brake light started coming on one day (Dash Light, as if ebrake was up) It use to turn on at high rpm's almost as if it was acting as a shift light lol...but now its just pretty much solid all the time...Anyone ever ran into this problem or heard of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated, its not really hurting anything....its just annoying...thnx for the help.

look at your brake fluid level
it is probably low and sloshing back and forth, causing the float to sink, triggering the light

The big one, on the left (when looking at the front of the car) is your brake master clyinder.
It is attached to the big black fat-pancake looking thing (which is your brake booster)
