brake light problem....

well as simple as a problem as this sounds, i cant make it stop!!! AND ITS ANNOYING.
My brake light occasionally just turns on, its happens more often when i am turning or accelerating. It did this once before and i put new pads all the way around it stopped for awhile and now its doing it again. I looked at all my pads and they are still in very good condition.. WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM... ?!?!?!?!

thanks in advance guys.,

check your brake fluid levels... i know that most cars have a sensor in them (ever wonder why there are wires attached to the cap? that is the sensor wires)

sounds like the fluid is low which could mean it is time for pads again or maybe a wheel cylinder leaking. DOnt jsut add fluid to it nad let it go. You should check the front pads for wear and the rears for wear and wheel cylinder problems. Brake system is a sealed system so if it is low those are about the only two things that could cause it.
