Help - Parking Light on dash stays on - need a little help

Hey, my parking brake light is staying lit on the dash, and I think it must mean my fluid is low. I checked it and it had to marks, on one side was hot and one side was cold. It was at the hot min, but the cold max. Since it's cold out wouldn't cold max be the right height for the fluid? Or should I add some until hot max fills to the line? Any help is appreciated thanks.

Hot & Cold marks on your Brake Reserve?

I think you were looking at the wrong thing. There are no hot and cold marks on the brake reserve.

Under your hood, driver side up against the fire wall is where your master cylinder is. Unscrew the top and add some brake fluid. You might want to check your brake pads, the fluid has dropped because your pads have worn. It might be time to replace your pads.
