Is it the dash light that's on or is it the taillight's...

dash light's sound's like knackered/stuck switch on the hand brake handle or if it's ya tail light's has to be brake peddle switch as monkeyalan states.....

Sorry,  its the light on the dash,, warning light.  I have removed the cable to the fluid resivior sensor and the cable to the handbrake switch but still stays on?  I also shorted out the cables (assume how the switches works?  and still stays on
