Check the level of the brake fluid resivour,if it is at the low/add mark you need to look at the condition/wear of the pads/shoes

There's a sensor under the console where the brake touches when it's down. you may need to replace it. Take a look at it. My camaro did this and I had full brake fluid and new brakes.

That switch is plain as day if you remove the center console. To do this, you have to remove the shift ****, boot (be VERY CAREFULL with the plastic retainer), remove the screws from under the dash, under the ashtray (i think), and under the change holder in the console (sneaky bastard).

I'm assuming its the same as a 98
