Default 00 GT Weird brake light problem

Hey, i have a 2000 gt and for the first ten minutes of driving, the brake light comes on everytime i put pressure on the brake. At first it never happened, then it started happening if i had to hit the breaks hard, and now it happens if i hit the brakes hard as well as while it warms up all the way. brakes feel totally fine though. no problem yet with anything, pads are fine. rotors+calipers look fine, fluid is fine. any suggestions?

lol

He just said they all checked out...

But who knows, maybe the level sensor inside the brake fluid reservoir is faulty or stuck. Double check the pads, just because the outside pad looks alright, doesnt mean the inside pad isnt worn way down.

I had a similar problem but that was because both my front and back brake pads were wearing out. After getting them replaced the problem went away.
