Flashing Parking Brake Light

[TimmyM]

While I am driving, if I hit around 5000-6000rpms my parking break light will start flashing for about 5 seconds. Sometimes it doesn't even do. It just happens out of random. Would anyone be able to give me any insight to what the problem might be?

Guess next question would be why? Brake fluid should get low.

if your asking why I refilled my brake fluid, it is because I recently had to replace both rear calipers because the old ones were ceased. The brake fluid level is in between high and low.

Gotcha. Sounded as though you were adding it out of the blue. That is a bit odd then, but might be suspicious of the reservoir sensor anyways since you have recently been in there. Check sensor connections?
