Hey guys I went out and started the doba today and seen the BRAKE light came on in the dash. What could it be, I haven't touched the Parking brake.

brake light switch is doing it's job. There is probably a brake fluid pressure difference between the 2 sides of the switch. That would indicate a leak somewhere, but I've also seen low brake fluid level trip the light. Double check the parking brake, make sure you didn't catch the parking brake pedal incidentally when getting in or out of the car.

I second that. I occasionally catch the the E-brake and have to either pull the release and/or pull the release and put my foot behind the pedal
