Check your brake fluid level.

E brake adjustment, take off your center console.

Uh, not really. Theirs 1 screw on the side of the e-brake handle you undo and the thing pretty much falls apart.

But +1 on checking your brake fluid level. My light kept staying on and this ended up being it.

Um, not really. There's THREE screws, and also a long nut on the actual cable. The nut is the adjustment.

Bam, three bolt holes. Ty.

My bet is still that or a stuck button.

There is ONE adjustment screw on the 2nd gen parking brake lever. There is ONE screw that holds on the trim...
