This happened last winter and is happening again this winter. I don't believe it is a real problem but my state inspection is due and I will certianly fail with the brake light active.

Brake indicator comes on every cold morning. Letting the car warm up turns the indicator off. It's been to several mechanics and yes it can be fixed, but if the light doesn't bother you (I personally couldn't care less) then as the mechanics said it doesn't really effect anything. My cars up to 125,000 no issues other than routine maintenance. If a sensor is all I have to worry about I call that solid construction.
