"brake" light???
when I was installing a shifter on my 99 z28, I took the center console off and could see the parking brake assembly. At the bottom of the brake handle there is a little contact switch, I think its a ground, when the handle is down I think it connects the ground. When the e brake is not engaged I think it breaks a ground contact and I guess this goes to the gauge light. so if the switch if messed up, it may: a-not make the ground contact ever, signalling e brake is on, or b-always making the ground contact and e brake is always off.
I am not totally sure if all this is correct, I just saw the switch and assumed these things. Hope this info helps

Check your brake fluid level. If it is low enough it will cause the same brake light to come on.

cool beans, problem solved
