As JB has inferred that light has many more functions than telling you your E-brake is on. Look at the light in the dark. Now raise and lower the E-brake handle. If it gets brighter when the handle goes up and dims when it's down then it's not on because of the E-Brake switch. If it doesn't change then your switch/wiring is broken or not making contact with the handle. Most common is that the brake fluid reservoir is low. There's a float switch in it that will turn the light on at a certain point. If you check both of these and don't find the problem then you should take it to a shop who can diagnose it properly.
