Default Dash Brake Light

Car: 2000 Honda Civic DX

I recently had the brakes overhauled on this car at a local shop. Everything was replaced except for the springs and hardware for the rear drum brakes. After about a month, the red brake light on the dash has come on...but not all the way...it's dim...and at times gets a little brighter then dims back down. I've make sure all my outside brake lights work. I've not noticed any change in braking at all.

Any ideas?

welcome to the forum tattoo432: enjoy your stay. Check your master cylinger for proper fluid level. Also check to see if all the brake lights are working properly.
