Brake Light in cluster?

I just got my truck 3 days ago, I've drove it well over 200 miles so far, and since the first time I used the ebrake, the light on the dash wont go off? The ebrake is all the way in and the pedal is perfect. Any ideas to a reason for this, If not, I'll prolly end up yanking the bulb

Your 100% sure it has enough fluid, even if its off a tiny itty bit and looks full it may be a little bit low and sending off a signal. Mine was and I added maybe 2 tablespoons worth and it went away.

Otherwise did you lock your e-brake on overnight when it was cold-it didnt release possibly but it would be dragging.

The truck had been sitting for a few weeks when I bought it, The light wasnt on when I started the truck but then I set the ebrake while I was cleaning the snow off of it and the light hasnt gone off yet. And thats been 3 days of driving it

look under the dash and look at the switch for the e-brake make sure the handle pushes it all the way in
