E-brake position sensor/switch

[bartmk]

Having some trouble with my e-brake light (the one to the right of my tach). It keeps turning on and off for a few minutes at a time, sometimes longer. Doesn't seem to have any pattern to it. When it does turn off though and I put the e-brake on it lights up as it should and turns off when the brake is put back to the off position. Kind of annoying at night with that light red light shining in my face. Any pointers as to where the postion switch is for that? or if I can just disconnect the switch? Thought I'd consult the rest of you guys before I just start tearing the console apart.

First, double check your brake fluid level. The system uses the same indicator light to indicate low fluid.

 

The e-brake switch is on the lever assembly under the center console.

This is the same for R50's assume? This week its been down to -20F and in the mornings when I drive to work and I disengage my Ebrake, the light still remains on. It won't be until around lunch time before the light will come off. Just a nuisance more than anything.
