...you know, the red one that comes on when your parking brake is set? It will just randomly turn on, especially if I brake or corner hard. It turns off sometimes, usually when I go up a hill. Any ideas?

Alternator?
handbrake switch is stuffed or brake fluid is down a bit.
they have a float switch in the master cylinder that puts the handbrake light on when the fluid drops to much
I'd say check the fluid level as well.
mine did this and i never knew about the brake fluid switch i always thought it was my e brake switch failing lol
Brake fluid is low, yes.
I would also say brake reservoir. but the ebrake circuit is completed when the handle is grounded. it may be making contact with other grounded objects, the wire may be loose on the handle as well. just a thought.
fluid level has to be it.
x57 on fluid level.

thats a totally different circuit
It was just low on brake fluid, and damn did that make a difference. I feel stupid that I did not know this feature existed. Thanks, guys! But, I have another problem on my mind...
you mean the brake warning light on the door jamb light indicator panel?
or the other brake warning light that comes on when youre low on fluid...
Wow it had been a while since I've driven a Honda.
I've spent more time loving on my 4Runner than I have my Accords..For example, normally when the alternator on an older Toyota is not charging or the voltage regulator is taking a dump, the first indication from the system is the brake and battery lights. No check engine lights, just those two lights at the same time. Sometimes its constant, sometimes its every once in a while.
