Stop Lamp idiot light???
whenever i step on my brakes the "Stop Lamp" light lights up on the idiot cluster. and when the turn signal is on while my foot is on the brake it lights up but then flashes with the turn signal. what the hell is it? i've replaced the bulbs in the brake lights.

The pictures with the wiring diagrams in the FSM have pictures showing the location of plugs and ground connections. Attached are the two pages for the common connector section. The ground points are labeled Ef, Ei and 3 different Er. I believe the one mentioned above is the point marked Er at the rear of the car.
I'm having this same issue. I'll check that ground tomorrow. I should have thought of that ground point in the rear. Thanks.

Not quite. The "Brake" lamp does illuminate for low brake fluid, or with the park brake. It doesn't light up for a burned out bulb. The "Stop lamp" light illuminates for a burned out bulb, but can also give a false warning when there is a bad ground.

The only time I have ever seen the "Stop lamp" light illuminate on my car, was due to a weak ground. That was under the hood. Anytime the lights were on, and I was stopped at a light, the stop lamp would flash with the turn signal. Cleaning the ground location on the strut tower for the negative battery cable solved that issue.
