Very wierd, when accelerating off the line quickly the brake light on the gauge cluster flashes for a second and then dims back out. This just started, but I was wondering if anyone had any input on this

Check the fluid levels..
 






Will do! Ill check them all first thing in the morning!
 






I'll second that..check the fluid! My brake light did the same thing last fall, and i wound up replacing the master cylinder, as mine was leaking, and the resulting low fluid level had caused the light to come on.
 






I did need to fill the brake fluid! Thank you! Light no longer appears! Cant believe I didnt check the fluid before I posted! Thank You for your help!
