I had the emergency brake light (and its annoying buzzer) stuck open (on) The switch is located at the top of the emergency brake release pedal in the car. To try to reach it, I took out the cars computer and some wiring, still could not reach it. So I took a long narrow bladed knife and by reaching past the e-brake pedal while applied (down) I was able to cut the wire to the switch.
