*Help - Anyone know why the E-brake light would stay on with the brake
*handle down?  Is the light activated by a switch on the handle or some
*other mechanism?

*Just flushed the brake lines and now the light's staying on.  At the same
*time I removed the console, so I could have covered the switch somehow.

Eric,  once when I pulled the console out to replace the shift boot I got in
a hurry to get it back in and pinched the E-brake light wire & broke it.
The light stayed on untill I reconnected the severed wire.   That's probably
your problem.
