Ok, the brake light is constantly staying on no matter what. Actually in Park Or Neutral it's off(yes i have an auto) but in every other gear it stays on all the time! How do i disconnect it or fix or find out why it's on all the time? What would cause it to stay on?

i had the same problem, it turned out i needed new pads on my brakes, the sensor was tripped cuz the pad was too low, that is my guess.

get new brakes.

Handbrake light? Pull your center console up and have a look at the brake lever. At the back, there's a wire that activates the light. Check that the actuator switch on it isn't broken or rusted and that it moves freely. Check the contacts on it to make sure they are clean (I'm doing this from memory with a 3G - should be similar with a 4G).

you may also wanna check your fluid level as it will also put the light on...
