My brake light comes on randomly. I just replaced rear & front pads & rear drums 10k miles ago, What does this mean?

Hi kevinb2733,

If it is the rear brake lights that are coming on intermttently, either the brake switch to pedal clearance is excessive or the switch is failing.

If it is the indicator in dash, check the brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir.
