Parking Brake Light On...

And wont go off...This is actually on my 02 Sable. Brake is off, car will roll in neutral, but light is always on.

Any idea how to fix it without a trip to the dealer?

Does it have a pedal or a handle? The pedal in my truck doesn't come all the way back up since my return spring fell off so my light is always on as well.
