Cool new user with an e-brake question

I have a 2000 f-350 stroker with a problem. My e-brake light keeps coming on and I have to set the brake and pop it to get it to turn off. Its anoying the crap out of me. How do I adjust it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

double check your brake fluid level. if the brake fluid level is low, it will light up parking brake warning light.

The switch is on the e-brake. There is a rubber ****/bumper on the lever that pushes on the switch when in the released position. Either buy a new bumper or tape something on it to make it taller.

E-brake

Check to see if all the cables as well as the levers at each rear wheel are free. When the EB pedal does not return all the way, that is usually an indication that something is stuck. Spray all cables with penetrating oil and exercise the EB pedal a number of times to get the oil into the cables. If the cables afr free, but one of the EB levers at the rear wheels are not returning, you might have to remove the rear rotor at that location to free it up. If it is that, make sure that you coat the levers with anti-sieze grease to prevent it from happening again.
