For the past 2 months the brake light has been coming on when the hand brake is released. After about 1/2 hour it goes off. I have checked the hand brake switch I have traced this fault to the brake reservoir fluid level sensor. I cleaned the sensor and replaced the fluid 2 weeks ago which solved the problem.
However 3 days ago the same thing started. Light on first thing in the morning, about 30 minutes later light is off.
Should I be looking at replacing the sensor? Is it sensitive to fluid temperature?

I'm pretty sure the brake light has nothing to do with the condition of your brake pads/drums. You may want to check the condition of your brake master cylinder reservoir cap (the lid), the black leather on mine was 4 times its original size (apparently caused by a foreign substance touching it) somehow and it caused the brake light to come on all the time.
good luck,
