brake light causes engine stop light warning cluster

As the title says, Whenever I press my brake the engine stop light goes off on the warning cluster.

Any ideas? . . ..

I'm gonna start diagnosing by taking out the bulbs one at a time and then change the brake switch at the pedal. .. .Something is going to ground it seems.

Any ideas on what might cause this? . .. Maybe I have a bad instrument warning cluster . . . .My wiper switch is "bad" so maybe that might be playing a role.

Thanks, , ,RL

first thing i'd check is to make sure your brake fluid level isn't low.

That's a great item. . . . .I just added some last week.

I think the fluid is pretty dirty, and the unit is kinda old.

Today it started working again.

I'll check the wiring diagram. . . ..A stop engine light would be the proper response if the car thought it had no brake fluid.

Thankfully this aftermarket item is still available.

Thanks. . .RL
