Default Parking Break Light Malfunction

Just recently whenever I apply the brakes on my '95 Avenger ES, my parking brake light on my console turns on. When I stop pressing the brake, it goes away. Sometimes it does it sometimes it won't...any suggestions?

Was your car preowned? If so I know people to mix wires around to stop 1 thing from happening and force another to come on. "Jimmy rigged" I would check fluid first since its easiest then check your fuses.

Do you use your e-brake? If so, you may also want to check your e-brake pads or it may just need adjusting.
