Brake light comes on when I accelerate.

check the fluid level in the m-cylinder and make sure the sensor in the cap is good.

Have plenty of fluid. Though it does leak a little. I don't like brass fittings...

Have you removed your center console lately? If you did the wires are grounding out put some tape around it.

My car does that when the brake fluid is getting low. I just top off the brake fluid and everything is good again.
