Default Emergency brake light stuck

Does anyone have this problem? It usually happens at first start and when it's cold. Once the car (or temp) warms up it goes off. Don't think it's a fluid issue. I've heard sometimes the brake float gets stuck or may become faulty. Is this a big deal to fix?

it wont be in the brakes. there is a wire that connects to the e brake handle, when its up it has 0 volts running through it when its down it has 12 volts. get a volt meter and messure the voltage to that wire with it up and down. if your getting 12 volts both ways then its a problem with the switch in the handle.

There is a switch on the e-brake pull your console and check if it stuck on.
