call me dumb.....

but what the heck is this red light that says"stop" on the idiot pilot???
It's been on the past 4 days and it's really starting to **** me off.
It only lights up when I step on the breaks... I thought I might have been running out of break fluid cus I had a bad experience about a month ago when I was on the highway and my breaks went out. x_x
but that wasn't it.

can anyone tell me what the heck it is?????

And yes... I was kidding... I might ask stupid questions, but I'm not dumb.

I suppose I was asking for a bashing when I put that as the subject.... geh!

Could be low brake fluid, bad parking brake switch, burned out brake light bulb...

hey guys.
thanks for all the questions but I found out it was the center break light.
I guess it's just a bulb, I haven't had time to fully inspect it, but I can figure it out from here.

thanks again for putting up with the newb!

This is something I love about these cars.... brake bulbs burning out is such a simple thing, but isn't it great your car can tell you when one of them isn't working right?
