E-Brake Light on while E-Brake down

I put the E-brake down but the light stays on, it doesnt feel like the brakes are stuck. Anyone know a trick to test it out to see if its the senor of the brake not relesing?

check brake fluid level, top it off and see if it still comes on.

I had this problem when I was drifting. It went away after I turned the car off. Try pulling the negative terminal off the battery.

I've also had the e-brake switch stick... pop open the plastic e-brake surrounds and check'it yo.

Or just ebrake hard a couple times... that outta slap some sense into it. Might also be an ECU/CPU thing like Omixeo said...
