could be low level fluid if it's the same light (was in my 60) or a vacuum problem. vacuum problem would be obvious though

^^I'm with this guy (unless it's obviously the handbrake switch).^^
You can possibly rule out the switch simply by seeing if the light gets slightly brighter as you pull the handbrake on and off.

My bet is on vacuum or fluid level sender.
