Default Emergency Brake Light staying on

Recently noticed my emergency brake light stays on after the brake is off and it flickers as I'm driving. It doesn't flicker in a specific pattern but it just does at odd times. Any clues on what this could be....also I checked the brake fluid level and its full. Thanks

Your handbrake switch is either loose, or failing. It's a simple contact switch held in place by 2 phillips screws with 2 wires, so first lift up the handbrake leather boot and have a looksy. If you're lucky it'll be jiggly and a half turn with a screwdriver will fix all. If you're unlucky, that piddly little bugger will set ya back $75 (or you could just unplug it)
