welcome to the forum. chech the brake switch just back of the pedal shaft, need to see if it is sticking or going bad. may just need cleaning.

Thanks acmech52, if the brake switch is not sticky, doing a brake flush will it solve the brake light intermittent problem?

light intermittent is usually poor ground, brake switch getting sticky, or poor connections some where in the line. the car does not have a brake fluid switch like the old day cars.
