Really, the man spoke the truth.
the brake pressure switch and brake fluid level sensor are on the same circuit so if you have either:
hand brake on
or
not enough brake fluid in reservoir,
you'll get the warning light on
If you have enough, it's probably the wiring that went south.

Yeah...My car constantly leaks brake fluid ( itll take a month or two to leak it all out if Im driving the car every day...but if it site for 2 days, itll all go out. Any ideas abotu that one? ) and whenever it gets low, I can floor it and the light will come on because of the brake fluid shifting in the master cylinder. Same idea as when you hit a corner.
