brake light

Hey, I was doing dougnuts in the parking lot yesterday and now my brake light won't turn off. I checked the fluids and they are above the min level and the hoses don't seem bad. The only thing I can think of is that since it was only 9 degrees outside, maybe my antilock brakes got stuck....any ideas?? Thanx

since no one cares about this, here's an update anyway

It warmed up today and my brake light turned off! Still don't know why it was on. Any ideas out there?

doubt it has to do with the brakes themselves....almost definitely an electrical problem....maybe a switch stuck....maybe you had condensation in the light assembly and it frze between circuits and created a temporary short...who knows. As long as it is fine now, don't worry about it. Now you know not to do donuts when its really cold

Mine did the same thing. I wasn't doing dougnuts though.
It rained here early today then froze. I figured moisture got in somewhere and froze.
Brakes seemed fine. Fluid was a little low but not too bad.
