WHY IS MY BRAKE LIGHT ON - 01 MAXIMA?

MY RED BRAKE LIGHT IS ON IN MY 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA GXE. THE EMERGENCY BREAK BREAK LIGHT THAT IS. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ISN‘T ON OR ANYTHING, BUT THE LIGHT IS. WHATS GOING ON?

Answer:

If it isn't in use then maybe it is a blown fuse
That light also warns of a hydraulic malfunction in the braking system. If the pedal feels fine the most likely your brake fluid is low. Don't just top it off tho, it gets low due to brake pads being worn. Check your brake pads and replace them, when you push the caliper pistons back in it will raise the level of the fluid back to full.
