e-brake light intermittently on

I am not sure if this is an easy fix or adjustment, but my emergency brake light goes on and off while I am driving, and most of the time it is on. I just need a little help to figure out what to do about it. Thanks

I believe you can pull up your cup holder and look at the switch. There should be some sort of switch under there that the ebrake comes into contact with. It may need adjusting so that it is being pushed in when the ebrake is down. Hopefully this makes sense...I'm not positive this is the way it works, but I think it is....

Low brake fluid, dont bother taking apart your dash. Your brake pads are getting low.
