Unwanted Brake Light Activation

Usually this is caused by the brake light SWITCH being out of adjustment in relation to the brake pedal arm which pushes on a plunger in the switch to operate it.

Different makes and models of vehicles have different means of mounting and adjusting the brake light switches, so the adjustment will depend on your vehicle.

Why is the brake light and battery light on at the same time in my prelude?

The most probable cause of both lights being on at the same time is a malfunction of each system. The brake light may illuminate because of a problem with the ABS unit, or because of low brake fluid. The battery light may illuminate because of a problem with the charging system, such as a malfunctioning alternator or dying battery. It could also be a problem common to both lights, such as a bad ground somewhere or an ECU problem.
