brake light staying on

[r0g3r16]

so for the past few days when i go to start my car in the morning my brake light stays on, it only does it when the temperature is around 55 or 60 over night and stays on till it gets warmer the e brake isn't on and my brake fluid is good any one have any idea why that light stays on?

Well there is a little plastic piece up under the dash near the base of the brake pedal that is round with a pointy end on it. It becomes brittle and cracks/falls out, It serves a stop for the brake switch.

would that make the brake light turn on? i checked but didnt find anythin broken

the brake light in the gauge cluster or your brake lights in the back?

Stuck/sticking brake light switch. Cheap part. Easy fix.

I believe there is a sensor under the shaft of your e-brake. Check for any debris or object near or around it. I had the same problem, there was a triple a battery under mine -_-

Open your brake master cylinder reservoir, bring up the filter and drop it back on top, then snug the cap. It's a common problem for honda's in cold weather.
