Default Break Light

I did a search and was unable to find anything but anyway i have a 2006 gs430

this morning i noticed my break light on the dash was on and i havent applied the break

when i pulled off it turned off, then after a couple of miles it turned back on

it was going on and off my whole commute to work

anyone have any idea what it might be?

Thanks

^^^^ No this sounds a lot more serious then that, check brake fluid ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Infiniti is also known to throw this lights when pad is low which uses more brake fluid in the lines causes brake fluid to be lower then usual.

Yes, sounds like low brake fluid level to me. Probably just needs to be topped off.

I've been busy replacing my breaks, but while I was doing it I over torqued a bolt causing it to brake... I'm really tired now and need to take a brake.
