ok, again with your english.

first off, it's not your "indicator" it's your brake light lamp.
my first guess would be to check my brake lights. have you gotten out of the car and had someone push on the brake pedal and checked to see if you have a break light out? probably first thing you should do before posting on the board. that or a search.

what does my post count matter on how much i know about accords? i have 2 accords currently, had 3, one was totalled by some chick. Then my sis and brother both have accords that i maintenance. the brake light is becuase there is a brake light problem. maybe wirng, could be fuse, could be a filiment out. I just had it come on mine last week and i checked, low nad behold, right brake light bulb burnt out. replaed it with an 1157 then it stopped. might want to check it out.

dude, it's something with teh brake lights. that is the ONLY THING it can be. that's all that sets off that indicator. so all the brake lights work properly? all the bulbs work fine, all the tail lights work fine, there are no problems, no corroaded contacts or anything like that.

I would suggest taking the bulb out and putting it back in regardless if it works or not. Punctuation is also helpful for those of us trying to assist you!

if your brake lights work, check your brake fluid

brake fluid doesn't matter with that light. that light is the brake LIGHT warning, nothing to do with fluid or tore up brake pads or anything like that. it's sorely telling you there is something wrong with the electric part back there, being a bulb out or stuck on or something. generally its' a bulb out.
