is it your brake lights? might be a bad switch behind(or in front) of the brake pedal mine did the same thing a while back...

brake lights. thanks for pointing that out.

how did you fix the bad switch?

 

check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder if it is low it will turn the light on

checked it. it was very very very low. i put in some brake fluid and it still stayed on. im gonna try to replace the brake switch.

 

If it was very low then that is most likely your problem. You may need to bleed the system if there was apsolutly NO fluid in the master cylinder.
