Brake Light in Dash keeps turning On and Off

Are there any reasons to why the BRAKE light in my dash cluster keeps turning on and off randomly? It's the one that turns on when you have the hand brake pulled up. If the only way this light gets triggered on is by the switch inside the hand brake, I have nothing to worry about and can assume its a faulty switch. But is there any other reasons to why it would turn on?

the brake light also could be low brake fluid.

I don't know about the evo though.

Your brake fluid is low. Check your brakes also. They might be getting close to replacement. Either way just top off your fluid.

Brake fluid doesnt just disappear either your pads are worn or you have a leak.My bet is your pads need replacement.
