brake light coming on
When i accelerate hard my brake light is coming on. Any ideas as to why?
I have a power FC is this sometype of warning sign? I looked thru the manual and didnt find anything.

problem was that when I was shifting hard into second it caused the fluid to move in the tank away from the sensor so the light came on... could be your problem as well
