Ok, I will check the e-brake.   

Will I have to bleed the whole system when I move the brake like down???

I was just out looking and my E-Brake Cable have a cut about 1/2 way through it.  I'm guessing that is what is giving me these troubles??

A snapped e-brake cable would only keep the e-brake from working right, it wouldn't affect the dash light unless it was keeping the handle from going the whole way down...

Ok, Thanks.  I'm sure once I move the brake line down it will turn off . . I hope.

Well, I have done: 
Drives Braking Line dropped.
Lossened Tightened wires.
Took off e-brake rubber mount to frame.

And it won't turn off.

Do you think then I lifted the body the e-brake cable tightened up and bit and now it is allways on?
I'm thinking of going and looking at electrical.   This is really pissing me off as I have been thinking about this for months.  It just won't stop.

Upated: The ( ! ) Light is "on" on my dash and it won't stop. (Justsoyoudon'thavetoreaditall)

 I don't remember if the trackicks are the same as sami's, but there's a push button switch on the E-brake handle ( 2 wires on a cheesey set up )

 Mine fickered all the time when off roading, I just bent the tab it's on so it makes contact sooner and the light problem was solved

 Don't know if this applies????

It's the same on trackkick's. TysonS I think your thinking in the wrong direction, that light won't stay on because there is tension on the hand brake cable, that'd only be the case if the handle wouldn't come down completely... I'd search in the electrical way if I were you, especialy around grounds of the switch on the Dot 3 canister.
Good luck!

Ok, Thanks guys, I'm going to go up and look around the Brake Fluid Canister and look for loose wires, etc. ;)
