yo, its nothing serious.
pull off the arm rest to access the e brake.
the lil'ground wire comes loose. it happens.
the e-brake has nothing to do with brake fluid just cables and in you case a ground wire.
you might be able to get a pen or screw driver to poke at it and make it go out to see if i'm right.
good luck [patriot]

street illegal has a good point that it might be a loose ground, but norcalbmxer is also correct that it is probably low brake fluid, i would check the brake fluid first because it is an easy fix

Yes, I know I just wanted to point out that street illegal stang was an idiot, and if he ever read an owners manual, he would find this

Page 66 1991 Ford Mustang Owners Manual
Brake System Light
"The warning light for the brakes can show two things - that either the parking brake is not fully released, or that the brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir. If the flid level is low, the brake system should be checked by a qualified service technician."

you sound like a retard when you call me an idiot
[Roll Eyes]
1.) i know the brake light can come on when it has low fluid
2.) the e brake doesn't use brake fluid.
if you read my post maybe you might understand what i said better
plus i had the same thing happen to me a few months back,just a fuckin ground wire.
