    That's a two function light IIRC.

    One is low fluid level in the master, one is the ebrake is engaged.

    Since you were working with the master, check fluid level first, and insure the float isn't hung up as well.

    I got the answer ,it was that I let the resovoir get to low when I bled/flushed the brakes and it set off the low brake fluid alarm>HANDBRAKE light on. I found out you have to reset the the switch by disconnecting the plug on the drivers side of the master cylinder with the ignition is at the off position then replug in the switch. thanx Clearwater
