Default Parking brake and a beeping noise

For the longest time, my 03 STR has had a beeping noise come on for about 5-10 seconds after turning the car off and removing the key.

I have reset the parking brake, verified that the module has no faults (an indy scanned it for me), and the parking brake engages fine as well.

Should I just try finding a replacement EPB module? Or is there some sort of adjustment with these EPBs that can be done at the calipers or on the cables themselves? I'm assuming the module doesn't think the brake is engaging fully.

Maybe it is NOT the EPB?

Is the selector lever PARK micro-switch OK?

I didn't think of that. But I'm not sure how I would rule that out. Gear selector seems to work fine.

I forgot to mention something that might be vital. The reason I'm assuming that it's the EPB is because I know 10 or more years ago when my parents drove it more often (they are the original owners), my father supposedly would play with the EPB switch while driving and I think it caused an issue that forced them to take it in. It's been so long so I can't get any more details than that. I think the beeping has been happening ever since that point, but I can't be totally sure about the exact time.
