disconnect the BRAKE pedal sensor and see if it goes out. if it does, you could have a bad or sticking sensor. I'd start there.

Ok, is there another sensor around the e brake? Someone had said to me that it might be a problem with the e brake sensor or something...?

There is a microswitch for the parking brake. On my 05 there was a small cover close to switch IIRC.

What year is the car ?
Some 01/02s had problems with multiplex that would cause it to stay lit.
