Bad switch on the emergency brake handle.
What does the Mitsubishi Montero owner's manual say about the brake light indicator staying on when the emergency brake is NOT in use?
If your vehicle has separate dash panel warning lights for brakes and emergency brakes, then the e-brake light being on while not engaged may indicate that the e-brake switch may be maladjusted or faulty. If the brake warning light is on, it may indicate a brake fluid leak, or in some cases, low brake fluid levels in the reservoir. If your vehicle has a shared warning light for e-brake and brake warning, all causes listed above could apply.

you can check a few things... 1) check if the switch that is activated when you use the emergency brake light is working or not. maybe it got stuck 2) check in the brake flud reservoir. do you have enough fluid? if so, the rubber in the cover is folded or unfolded? it should be folded, if not, it will be hitting another switch and triggering that light

What is wrong when the emergency brake light comes on when braking sometimes on a Mercury Villager and it is getting worse?
Check brake fluid level--I believe both service and "e" brake use the same light. Low brake fluid could indicate leak (Need service NOW) or brake pads need replacing due to excessive wear Try engaging the brake all the way then releasing it. It might just be sticking. The ebrake sensor could be malfunctioning. It is usually located along the ebrake pedal somewhere. Hope this helps.

How do you adjust the rear brakes on a Dodge Grand Caravan?
The rear brakes of the Caravan are adjusted automatically. Each time you set the emergency brake slack will be taken up. You can speed up this readjustment while parked, engine off, by "pumping" the emergency brake while pulling out the brake release. Adjustment may take some time as the slack takeup is small with each use of the emergency brake. A good habit is to use the emergency brake at least twice a day to avoid a low parking brake pedal.
Why does your parking brake light stay on in your Camry?
there are only two switches that share the brake light circuit, One switch is under the hood,below the master cylinder is a brake line junction block,This switch only has one function,it trips its self and turns on the brake light on the dash when it finds any air in the brake fluid system at all,like if a brake line broke on you and you lost your pedal and pumped air in. Has any wheel cylinders or calibers or brake lines been changed on your car? And this light happened right afterward? If yes,then there is an air bubble in the brake system and it is probably located in the junction block by the switch,But you said the brakes are working fine,no low pedal. If all above is ok and your pedal is normal: The second switch that shares the brake light bulb on dash, Is the emergency brake, This switch turns the light on as soon as the emergency brake even moves on with the first click, If you emergency brake is on the floor,on the left kick panel,and you push the pedal down to use it, you will need to take a look under the dash where the e-brake pivots,there you'll see the switch,just reach up and disconnect the wire to eliminate this as the cause of your light, If your emergency brake is beside the console,if you have a floor shift,The switch is down where the e-brake handle pivots,its harder to get to but unhook the wire,
