The brake light on the dashboard has started coming on in the mornings. It seems to go away after the brake has been tapped a few times. It also only seems to happen when the vehicle is first started.
The brakes were recently checked (within 1-2 months of this beginning) at Goodyear, and they checked out fine. They don't seem to have any problem when I apply them.
Could this just be a short in the brake light itself, or should I have it checked out?

Just a low fluid indicator. From a clean new can bottle pour into the brake resv. one or two ounces of brake fluid DOT#3 will do. AS the front pads wear brake pistons move out the fluid lowers till the light turns on. I would get a second opinion and make sure they actually remove the front wheels to look at the inside pads those wear faster (Not a problem). I have seen many customers come in with the pad squeelers broken off. "brakes were making noise a month ago then it stopped this morning grinding sound" as the metal backing is grinding into the rotor. Don't take chances with brakes.

Check the fluid? Level might be a bit low and expanding as it warms up?

It may pay you disconnect your battery leads but keep in mind that your radio will need the code afterwards Also it could be air in the system~~
