Default Fluid level warning light

The brake fluid level warning light has started to flicker intermitantly on my 96WRX. The fluid level is fine - at the top line - but the light still flickers. I assume the switch in the reservoir is faulty, is it replaceable or servicable in any way?

Thanks

often the float simply sticks..........unsrew the lid and make sure everything is moving freely

Thanks, I will give it a try but if not I guess I will have to replace the switch - hope I can just change the plastic reservoir and not the whole thing!

Used to happen with mine, but, like Alyn has stated, it was just the float sticking.
