This morning it did happen to me.

I remote started my car.
Got dressed and left.
Lowered the E-brake the light stayed on.

Drove up the street was stopped at a traffic light and it turned off.
Didnt come back on while I drove to the train station.

So im thinking a dirty sensor. But what would cause the light to stay on?
I strongly disagree that it could be brake fluid level, or master cylinder, or pads.

The BRAKE light only illuminates when your e-brake is engaged or disengaged.
Even if your rear brake pads were stuck that wouldnt cause the light to stay on.

I think I just need to vaccum inside the e-brake console.
Now that I learned how to remove my cup holders im going to do some cleaning today.
