Angry Stop llight indicator lights BUT brake lights are good????????

WTF, All of my brake lights are good but I still have the damn "STOP" light lighting up everytime I hit the pedal, the only bad bulb on the car is a marker light on the side. Any idea why this is happening????????

1 quick fix...take out idiot cluster and take out the light bulb. check your brake sensor first (under pedal)

What "STOP" light? Is this something I don't know about or is it something that's model specific?

If it's a brake light (the STOP thing, not the brake lights) you might want to have your brakes checked, including the E-brake. I know that's how my other car (Mazda based '90 Ford Probe) is set up with the brake system light.

Assuming we're talking the Brake idiot light, check your brake fluid, you're probably low.

it IS the stop light

The light says "STOP" not the one that says brake that comes on with the handbrake, this is the one that tells you if a brake light is out, it may do other things but ALL my brake lights are good and it is bugging me.

P.S. this is a 88 vert. btw
