Ok cool.Then Its likely one of the switches isnt disconnecting properly.Either the one under the handbrake or the float in the master cylinder maybe sticking.Try disconecting them one at a time to see if the light goes out. When and if it does youve found the fault

take the cap off for you brake fluid and push the plunger down a few times it tends to stick in cold weather
