If you notice that it is not #2 then check the wires and pull one out, and see if the light goes off. Who needs an ebrake light anyway, unless you are totally retarded and no not see that pole thing that is up at your elbow level.
#2 on some brake pads there is a carbon sensor in it. When the brake pad wares down it will allow a circuit to be formed on your brake pad. What it means is you need brake pads, if it is new pads, pull your brake pad sensor out to get the light off. Again there could be shorts anywhere, condensation is a good electrolyte, letting a charge pass through it, check is there is any damp spots along your fuse box.
