Brake light comes on when cornering
Has anyone experienced their hand brake light coming on when they are cornering? I've held the brake lever in the down position when taking a turn and it still comes on. I'm assuming there's a sensor somewhere's that loose. Does anyone know where it might be? (for a FD)

Check your brake fluid level.

As xchaos says your brake fluid is low. It will probably blink on if you accelerate hard from a stop too. There's a float sensor in the reservoir that turns the idiot light on if the fluid gets low.

The float in the reservoir trips easily. Even though it's above the MIN mark I would still top it off. 9 times out of 10 it's the fluid level and not the parking brake.

Alright - I checked the brake fluid level and it's between the min and max markers. Probably ok.
