The light on the dash that show when you have the E-brake pulled won't go off. It stays on constantly whether I have the E-brake pulled or not. I can't even set my cruise control because of it. Has this happened to anyone before, or does anyone know how I can fix it?

could be the switch for the e brake. or your fluid level could be low.
I had that problem about six months ago, turned out to be a loose connection. Just took off my center console and played with the wires for a little bit, made sure everything was connected and the problem was solved.
If it doesn't feel like the e-brake is engaged at all when the handle is down and the light still stays on, then chances are really good that there's a loose connnection. It is most likely going to be where JKceli had heis problem so check that first.

i heard if your brakes get REAL down, that the light can come on then
but that was from my step-dad who has worked with cars for 15+ years and still doesn't know what the o/d button REALLY does

That light will also come on if you've got a leak in your system. Like a hydrolic line or the brake master cylinder. But if it was a leak you would problem notice it right away. And consynx had a point,if the shoes are sticking then the light will come on.
had to keep my post up, didn't ya >

the brake light is not only there to tell you the ebrake is on....it is a waring light that tells you something is wrong with your brake system . id get it checked out asap.

I appreciate all of the help, I'm just going to take it to a shop and have them look at it because it wasn't a loose connection under the console. Thanks for the advice.
