Default Brake Light

My brake light is constantly on, its been doing this for awhile but i was just to lazy to post it. Would this be a "bomb" scenerio, i read an article but it didn't quite answer my question. Thanks.

Is your brake fluid low? Is your emergency brake switch stuck? Check these first before the bomb.

Default Check pads first

The wear sensor will trigger the brake light.

So check the emergency brake switch to make sure it is working. If yes, then check the bomb.
