Brake Light stays on???

Ok so I got into my car one day, and I noticed that my emergency brake light wouldn't turn off even after i released the brake. What do i do to fix this?? I drive a 94 civic sedan. Got any suggestions??

It's probably one of two things.

1) the wires from the sensor to the cluster are shorting out against the metal some place - check them.
2) The sensor itself is broken/jammed.

visually check fluid
if ok ->
visually check e-brake switch (located under console at base of e-brake handle) make sure not loose/jammed/shorted
if ok ->
get a multimeter
