Ebrake switch. You probably have a dirty connection or the switch is worn out, possibly a wire is broken. It's a 17 year old car, that's a lot of ebrake movement.

If your local to Va beach or somewhere close, I can help you look at it and help point ya in the right direction. EF brake systems are so easy..

Re: my EF parking brake light wont turn off
The switch is on the ebrake handle, under the center console. It's usually a really simple switch, it just completes a circuit to chassis ground and is usually just one wire. The switch contacts often corrode or the area around the ebrake will get some light surface rust because of age.
Check the fluid first.
