First post, hope I don't mess this up too badly.

I bought a 94 Civic DX from a buddy who quit driving it as there was a crack in the top of the radiator and I needed a car badly. I said what the heck, bought it from him, replaced the radiator and thermostat, timing belt will be replaced next week, and I have a car again!

Then suddenly I noticed the brake light on the dash wont turn off, even when the e-break is down. Not a problem if the car is off, but it has freaked me out a few times driving around town and I suddenly see a red light in my peripheral vision on the dashboard.

I want to say I've seen a similar issue with 98 Civics that has to do with a contact under the dash needing to be resoldered when this happens.

Any clues where I should start looking? I was thinking of pulling and replacing some fuses, as my cigarette lighter doesn't seem to work either.

Check your brake fluid level.

Literally the first thing I did (probably should have put that in the OP); indicator is for the parking break...also should have been in the OP.

The light can be activated by either item, you will need to isolate which one is making it light.
