There's a switch on the e-brake handle under the console. It could have a bad connection or is disconnected. Pull off the rear console you'll see it

That same light connects to the brake master cylinder to indicate low fluid or a system malfunction. Check your fluid and look for leaks around the wheels...

Thanks for the post blueamber It was in fact because of a leaky brake line at the banjo bolt on the front caliper.
