Default Brake lamp on?

The brake lamp light is on but I can't find out what's wrong. The brake light in the center works just fine, as well as the brake lights in the back, thought it was the bulb so switched it around and it wasn't the bulb. Looked around on the internet, people say its a wiring problem like some kind of switch in the steering wheel console ? any ideas ?

That warning lamp is triggered by the wrong wattage in the brake lamps. Sometimes when a bulb is getting ready to burn out, it still lights up but at the wrong wattage, setting off that warning. Occasionally, you have to replace all the bulbs, just so they match each other.
