Check your switch 1st the problem usually lies there. The switch works by connecting itself to ground to make the light come on.

I had my dash out yesterday. For starters if you have the stock radio go buy the $5 tools that are U shaped thick wires with a notch at each end for pulling it. Then two screws right inside the radio opening on top. Then pull the upper dash hard at various points towards you and it should start popping off the clips and coming out. Unplug the various connectors and you can remove the dash completely. Then four screws and three more plugs to remove the instrument cluster.

Easy to find and replace, it's the only wire to the park brake assembly, right up front can't miss it. I just replaced mine the other day, an easy check to see if the dash light is out is to unhook the wire from the switch and use your test light to complete the circuit, ground the wire and the dash light should come on.

Oh yeah the switch is like 15 bucks from Autozone.
