Dash Brake Light Flashing

Tonight I started the car with the clutched still depressed and put it into first to stop the accelerated warm up and then I put it back in neutral and released the clutch pedal and the Brake light started flashing , no pattern just flashing, the brakes are functioning normal and the fluid level is at MAX, I'm guessing this is a clutch issue? I have a Act Street/Strip clutch and I know the release bearing is bad, grinds like hell. Could the bearing cause the light? or something else? Anyone to chime in and help me, I tried searching but I don't know how well.

Most likely a maladjusted E brake switch. Try pushing the E brake handle down with the button depressed. The FSM describes the adjustment.

Tried lifting it and puting it down quite a few times, it's definitely not the switch, already adjusted it.

Those are the only two things that turn the brake warning light on. One of the switches may be malfunctioning.
