Check your brake fluid level. When you take off the reservoir cap, make sure the rubber bellows is collapsed back into the cap and not extended. If it is just push it back in. If the fluid is low, fill it to the correct mark.
When the fluid warms up afterafter driving, it expands and the light goes off. When the fluid cools overnight, it contracts and it will read low. The reservoir has a magnetic float in it that operates a reed switch under it, to bring on the E brake light, when the fluid is low. The rubber bellows can hold the float down to bring on the light, just opening the top and folding the bellows back up, will turn the light off. .

well my brake fluid is filled up all the way. I'm thinking it might have to do with the wires in the back or some where around there.

pop the cap of the brake fluid canaster. look at the cap, push the middle back into the cap (pushing the rubber bit back into its origonal shape)
That stopped my brake lite from comming on and felt like an idiot after that. Greg
