Default Not sure what's going on. Can anyone chime in?

So not sure what's going on. So turned my car on after not driving it for like 24 hours. Drove the car like 2-3 minutes and the "brake" light came on (when you pull your e-brake up. Then the VSA light & Traction triangle came on and stayed on. Turned my cr off and turned it back on and the everything but the brake lights stayed on. Drove for 2 minutes and pulled into a housing complex. Turned the car completely off waited 30 secs and turned it back on and it was normal. This happened a couple of months ago.

My question is should I be worried?

Handbrake switch misadjusted -- shouldn't come on until about the 2nd click? Low on brake fluid in the reservoir? Float in brake fluid reservoir stuck down or not floating?

if it happened once, a few months ago, I wouldn't worry about it. Loose wires and failing batteries
can cause unpredictable electrical issues, as can water getting where it doesn't belong. Could be
something as simple as a loose battery clamp, but if you haven't had a repeat performance I wouldn't
worry about it.

I did hit a big puddle a couple of days ago but this issue with the lights has been going on on a week, I'll check under the hood, thanks!
