Brake Light in cold weather?

The weather is starting to get cold, and for some reason now my 2000 GLE has the break light (Parking break) stuck on at times. Anyone know a way to fix this? I know the break isnt on (no jokes!). And I'm sick of friends always trying to help me out by saying "Dude your break is on". Can anyone help? I dont want to disable it entirely, not sure if something is getting stuck I can fixed or if its all in the computer. Thanks!

It could be caused by the molecules in the fluid getting closer together due to the cold weather, therefore lowering your fluid level to just below the mark where the light comes on. Thats my opinion, add fluid, oh yeah and it's BRAKE.

Thanks!

Ha ha I am tarded.
Thanks for the advice, it actually makes sense because it didnt do that last year. And I just got a 60k maintance, the guys must have filled it up to much. What is a good way to remove a bit of fluid? I'm not exactly sure how to go about fixing it.
