I ended up finding out that the light also comes on if the brake fluikd reservoir is low. I added more brake fluid and the light went off.
The switch is under the handle, if it is always on it is most likely bent away from the park handle.
From what you have written i take it your parking brake light is lit on dash if it is the contacts on the switch when your handle is down are not making contact to cut the power to the light sometimes if you wiggle and go up and down while holding the release button in you may be able to jar the switch off if it persist switch replacement

SOURCE: BRAKE light comes on occasionally - parking brake not engaged.
check your brake fluid it is more then likely low.You might need brakes as when they wear they take up brake fluid as the piston extends to make up for the worn pad material.

The parking brake and the low brake fluid use the same light. If it comes on during acceleration, your brake fluid level is low and you need to add some brake fluid or replace your pads. The brake fluid gets low as the pads wear as the whole system is hydraulic. Another possibility is a brake fluid leak. As you accelerate, the fluid gets pushed back causing the low brake fluid light to turn on.

some times that light is also used to indicate low brake fluid level in the master cylinder..just a thought

there is adjustment in the switch in the hand brake assembly - which will eliminate this .you will have to remove cover in console to adjust - should be self elplanatory once you can see it. Drop me a line if still required - get a book at library it is covered.

I have a 2008 Suzuki SX4 that has a parking break light that fails to go off. The only time that it will go off is in a case where I have to stop suddenly, or aggressivly break. Any suggestions?
What about it?
