Default E-Brake light won't go off

Yea like the title says. Even with my e brake down, the light won't turn off. Is there a sensor somewhere I should look at? Thanks.

Check your brake fluid. When its low the light stays on

ya when i get in my car in the morning and start driving mine is on for a few minutes then after using the brakes a few times to slow down it turns off. but i also need to replace my brakes too so that could be a reason why.

Hey the same thing started happening to me last week!

At first it only came on when I started the car, then it would go off after a minute, only returning when I was accelerating.. wierd.

Now, it is on all the time, so I dunno what the deal is..

my g/fs teg does this. Ive read on h-t that its either

1. Brake fluid is low like mentioned above
2. The sensor on the cap where you put brake fluid in is bad.
or 3. Loose connectiong somewhre in ebrake area.

To test number 2 I read you just unplug the connector(s) near the top bo the cap that are wrapped in rubber. If the light turns off when unplug this the sensor in the cap is the problem. This problem just started for her so its somethign im reading up on so i can fix it this weekend.
