E-Brake light not turning off..

So just a few days ago my e-brake light decided it wanted to stay on for another 5 minutes after I dropped the handle and began driving. I was afraid at first that I just hadn't released it fully but not so much. It finally turned off after another minute or so. This has happened 2 or 3 times now at full randomness.

Has anyone else had this happen or is it just a loose wire or the rain... or both?

Hmm... Mine has done that a couple of times, but only because when I let it down in cold weather it didn't quite go down all the way. So for me just pushing it down all the way turned it off...

But since I'm assuming you have already made sure that it is in fact pushed down all the way, my guess would be that the sensor is stuck...

Zach, check your brake fluid level. If it is low it will trigger the brake light to come on as well.
