Default '95 ES300 instrument panel brake light staying on

Any idea why my instrument panel brake light is staying on? Would like to know what may cause this.

There are 2 brake lights. One for low brake fluid and one for the parking brake being engaged.

So which one is staying on?

Parking brake light. All caps and red letters.

Don’t know what year is your car, but if I it’s the parking brake light, than once it’s released than try pulling the parking brake pedal all the way back with your hand. See if the light goes off.

it could also be a defective switch or loose parking brake cable.

It is a '95 model. Thank you. Will try that when I get a chance.
