Default Brake Light - '98 Avalon

The Brake light was intermittant.

Manual sez brake fluid or parking brake.

I set the parking brake - no Brake
light.

I have the car serviced by a Toy dealer.
I assume they check fluid.

Brake light still intermittant.

Now Brake light is on allatime.

82000 miles, brakes work fine, never
needed fixing.

Weather is very cold - 10 below.

????

don't assume some one else checked the brake fluid level. check it
yourself, or if it's too hard for you to do that, go back to the dealer.

An intermittent brake warning light almost always means low brake fluid
level, and low brake fluid level is usually due to worn brake linings. Open
the hood and look at the brake fluid level in the reservoir in front of the
driver. If it is at or near the "min" mark, the brakes are worn.
