So I was driving from work just now and noticed that while driving my break light will come on. It doesn't matter if I am shifting, cruising, or stopped. The break is not stuck or anything, any ideas of what could be causing this?

if you mean brake light as in emergency brake light.
check your brake fluid, you might be low.

The emergency brake doesn't have any fluid...

Which brake light are you talking about though? Emergency brake or you're tail light?

Sometimes when it flickers on and off its brake fluid. I heard it could mean brake pads are worn down
