Check your brake fluid, its probably low.
If not, there is a sensor attached to the parkign brake ratchet lever on the floor i do belive, the contacts like to get dirty...

That beeping and brake light is usually a symptom of a serious problem. Don't ignore it. Dig for the problem. Most of the time it'* a master cylinder failure. Check your brake fluid reservior like Matt suggested, but also look for brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder and brake booster.

You may have a weak spring or be out of adjust on the park brake pedal. On my '95, I have to occasionally lift the pedal up with my toe to keep the light from illuminating. If not that, like Willwren says, do find out what the problem is.

well i just filled up my brake fluid n i was reading in the manual if there was ne thing and it says the light just comes on if the parking brake is engaged and it beeps if u drive more than 40 feet with it on as a warning so do u still think it could have to do with the actual brake?

I had a similar problem, except my BRAKE light came on only while accelerating hard or making left turns under moderate acceleration. I unplugged the brake fluid level sensor in the reservoir and it cured the problem.
