Default Park brake light on dashboard

The park brake light on dashboard continuously flashes even though park brake is off.
Any ideas?
Is there a fuse i can pull?

Hold the release and pull up on the pedal.

Is it affecting the drivability of the vehicle? When did it come on? - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

Check the fluid level. The light flashing is a warning that something is amiss in the braking system. Pulling the fuse is not the solution.

Better make sure the brake is fully releasing. The cable might be sticking.
