Default brake/handbrake light on the dash question..

Hi Team,
I've a brake light dash issue im a bit miffed with..
My brake reservoir is topped up correctly and every brake part has been renewed.
When i press the brake pedal, the light comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out.
I can hear a clicking under the passenger side of the dash so assume a relay is working ok.

Why would it be doing this given everything has been renewed?
Its all bled correctly multiple times.
The light works as it should with the handbrake.

Any suggestions / fix appreciated.

Cheers,.

Does the ABS light also come on, or only the red light?

The ABS light was staying on, before it got disconnected.
Would the light be coming on because of this?
Thanks Marc.

In case the boost pressure is not OK, both the ABS light and the red brake light should come on.
