Sound like the switch under the handbrake lever is funky, it gets rained
on with lots of debris over the years. Try cleaning it out with contact/
tuner cleaner and see what happens- Too, it may just be misaligned and
won't get fully depressed by the downward travel of the lever. Hard to
tell from here. :)

BTW- Are you sure the light is not trying to tell you something about
the state of your braking system in general? Better check, it may not be
the handbrake portion at all.
