a warning light comes on my dash saying BRAKE. I checked my brake fluid and it it fine. I heard that it is just a sensor gone bad for my parking brake. Is this true, and how do I Clear it ? How about a place like "autozone" Can they clear it ?

normally its the low brake fluid warning, but if you've check then it could be parking brake sensor ;
1. could be loose contact
2. could be switch faulty
3. could be fuse also, check if its link to the fuse box on the sensor.
*** 4. could be the sensor over the brake fluid reservoir, sensor wires could be loose or not attach properly.
hope it helps, Merry Christmas.

It could be just a bad sensor, but you are going to have to go to a mechanic to get it fixed. The people at Auto Zone, and places like that, are just parts supplyers, the biggest work on cars they do is putting in batteries and testing them. Hope this helps.

do you use the parking brake regularly ? if so it could be a sticky switch but you should make sure and investigate.
