Brake Light comes on when accelerating???

I've seen this before.... The light comes on when you are low on brake fluid. I had this occur under hard acceleration.
 
Biff, If your brake light is coming on then it is telling you that you have some sort of problem with your brake system. A lot of people will tell you to add fluid to the brake resevoir, this will indeed stop the brake light from coming on but it is a short term fix, you should really fix the problem which is probably worn brake linings.

Check the park brake handle as well, or where ever the sensor is. Handle had one more notch to go down, or it lifted just enough to make it come on when bumped or taking off or something, till I learned to push it down all the way. Now that was years ago but happened to me enough, to figure it out, after looking at fluid level. Car was new.

These other guys are probably right, though. Just a thought.
