That's the taillight warning light. All of the bulbs except the highmount brake light (or "third" brake light) are dual element bulbs. The warning light on the dash tells you if the brake elements do not offer the proper electrical resistance. If you have a bad ground, then it's possible that one or more of your brake lights are not illuminating, or not bright enough (can happen with a bad ground as well). These car's are notorious for bad grounds at the tail lights, so I'd go clean them up and inspect all of the bulbs.

Keep in mind there are 5 brake lights on these cars.
