Angry Warning Lamp indicator grrrr

Hello hope all is well with everyone
Every time I hit the brake, I get the warning lamp indicator
I checked fuses, bulbs and even replaced the sensor by the brake and still giving me that message
What could it be ? I'm fried
Ty once again

try sanding the contact point where the bulb goes in? might be a little residue that is tripping it...worth a shot

Yeah, just because it comes on when you brake doesn't necessarily mean the problem is narrowed down to the brakes.

Did you check all the bulbs (license, parking, sidemarkers, etc.)? If you have eBay LEDs, the resistor might have burnt out on one of the bulbs and will need replacing.
