Default Emergency brake light indicator

Just recently, rear brake light and emergency brake light indicators have been "coming and going" on the dash seemingly at will. They will come on for a few miles, then turn off. The emergency brake light indicator seems to come on after rounding a corner. It will beep, as if saying I've still got the emergency brake on, then the dash indicator stays on for a while. Then might go off....or continue to stay on. Weird?? I'm thinking it might be the computer CPU that may need to be reset. Any help would be appreciated.

First I recommend that you read through the "having problem start here" sticky thread.

Please check the level of brake fluid in your master cylinder. If the level is at max then check the float switch.

Thanks, Salimshah. Why that didn't hit along side my head is kind of embarrassing. Will check the fluid tomorrow, and I'll bet that's what it is.
