On my dashboard a light comes on sometimes when i break. The light is red and has a symbol that lookes kinda like a head light. What does this mean?

 

Check your brake fluid you might be low or have none at all. Do your brakes feel a little mushy?

 

My break fluid is full and my breaks feel fine. I just had new front breaks put on. It did this before I put on the new breaks and thought by changing them it would fix it.

 

check your rear top center brake light there are 4 small bulbs in it one of them might be out...that was what was wrong with mine

That to mine did the same thing when my brake lights went out.

 

on the same topic, kind of, my windsheild washer light comes on when i brake suddenly. Ive heard about this before, but is it common?

What happens is that your braking causes the windshield wiper fluid to be tossed around, and your low lever indicator thinks its low, thus the light comes on. After it splashes around, it goes away. Top off the fluid.

as far as the brake light it is because of the third light as far as the washer. it is because of what BreakbeatBob said.
