96 Pathfinder: parking brake lamp issues

During the past week, my 1996 PF has developed an issue with the parking brake lamp in the instrument cluster. Sometimes the lamp turns on when I accelerate and usually turns off after firm braking occurs. My main question is where is the parking brake sensor located? Also, any comments/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for your help!

Randy.

Randy,

Check the brake fluid level.

Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder and get the brakes inspected, it may be time for a brake job

Doh! I feel like a total moron. When I was having the problem, it didn't occur to me to check the brake fluid level. Sure enough, it was at the minimum. I just added more fluid and all is well now. My dad and I replaced the brake pads about 15k ago, so I figure I should be good for a few more miles. I'll have them inspected when I take my PF in for a tire rotation.

Thanks again! Randy.
