The oil change will not have affected your braking system. They are completely separate systems and in different areas of the vehicle. The Brake light is basically a separate problem that through bad luck has simply happened at the same time. Get the problem looked at by a Good mechanic as it is a bad idea to ignore the brake warning light.

My 2006 f150 has new brakes and rotors,fluid full but my dash brake light stays on. Soon as you start it and the whole time you drive. Also the cruise quit too. Once the light went off then the cruise

This sounds like the brake light switch or the control switch on the brake pedal is bad or loose. Check under the dash above the brake pedal there should be one or two switches that tell the brake lights to come on and the cruise control to shut down.

My brake lights work but my tail lights and reverse lights don't work. Also my dash lights quit when I changed the switch for my headlights.

Check your fuses. I had the same problem with a 90 Honda civic. Dash lights went out, tail lights also went out. Replaced 1 fuse and all came back on.

2005 kia sedona ex.

no it has nothing to do with regular oil changes as long as they are done right and frequent. is the yellow light say check engine or service engine soon? if it does take it to advance auto parts or a similiar parts store chain they usually will scan the pcm for free, but with only 24000 miles you should have warranty left on this vehicle if so take it to the dealer to fix at no cost to you.

the "brake" light in the dash is a warning light to indicate you have a serious problem with your brakes. Suggest you get it fixed immediatly.

Sienna won't go out of park, warning lights lit after oil and coolant change

Check to see if your brake lights work(brake/ignition interlock), if they don't then the fuse that has blown may be the cause of the other warning lights in the dash, sure sound like they did something at the oil change place
