The handbrake switch is under the handbrake lever. If you pull up the lever surround you should see it. Try pushing its switch to see if that works but if not, disconnect its wiring plug and if the light then goes out you know the switch needs replacing.

thanks paul , i pushed the switch a few times & that seems to have done the trick
