Brake lamp light stays on

[robville]

I just bought a 91 accord ex-r and the brake lamp light on the dash remains on all the time. Just wondering why, and what to do if it's something that needs to be fixed. Thanks.

I would look in the back and see if all the bulbs light up when you hit the brake. When a bulb burns out it will trigger that light usually.

also check the level of the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder

does the brake light out light have anything to do with the reverse lights??? one of my reverse lights always stays on even when the car is in neutral.....I need to check the reverse sensor on the trans......still haven't done that

and for reference if all your bulbs are good, get some contact cleaner and clean all the sockets and then check the brake fail sensers(brown and black box inside tail light) and make sure they arent burnt out of loose and clean them as well....my brake light would come on as soon as car went into reverse or after driving and i changed my bulbs like 2 times and then once i cleaned the contacts everything was good!!

as far as reverse lights i dont think its on the same line but it might be....id fix it anyhow and see what happens!

I have the same problem and my brake lights work fine. Try checking the inner and outboard lights and if they all work you should be good. Also check the reverse lights and third high mounted brake light in the rear window.
