    Spray the brake light switch, just above the brake pedal, with WD-40. If that doesn't solve the problem, the brake light switch probably needs adjusting.

    Check the level of brake fluid in the brake master cylinder resivour. If it's near the minium mark, there's your brake light issue.
    BUT... it may also mean you're near the end of your brake life. Have 'em checked, pronto!

    I don't know. It just turned on one day.

    Is the brake fluid low in the master cylinder reservoir?
