    if it's the parking brake light try and set the parking brake, and release it... and after you release it, pull up on the pedal a bit. coud just be the switch... but yeah, if it's not the parking brake light, check the fluid level

    the one at the parking brake, if it stays on the problem is somewhere else, if it goes out it's the switch or pedal
