e-brake adjustment?

What's the procedure for adjusting the e-brake? My e-brake light has decided to stay on all the time, even with the brake completely off. I have already checked all bulbs at the back of the car and they are fine. Anything else that could cause this?

Mike

If that doesn't fix it try adjusting your rear brakes.

Mike its not too hard to adjust the e-brake. Yea first check the fluid level. If thats not it, then its probably the e-brake cable. You adjust it with the star adjuster behind the hub. Its not too hard
