Emergency Brake Light

This really isn't a big deal, but lately I've noticed if I go over a big bump in the road, like driving downtown, the emergeny brake blinks on for a second. Just wondering if this happens to anyone else?

Add some brake fluid to your master cylinder reservoir. Thats the usual cause of flickering brake lite

Like Yoda said. The reservoir should be right up to the line. My '90 would do the same thing if the level wasn't right up there. And I'm talking the difference between about 1-2 tablespoons or less!!!
