Default Brake indicator always on

1998 Camry, 4cyl, not mine. The dash indicator for the brake is always on. Am I just looking for a bad switch on the parking brake (which is off) or is this indicator lit by low fluid or other brake problems? Any source for a wiring diagram? Thanks in advance for any help.

The light is for both parking brake and low brake fluid. Might be a Red/White wire(s).

You should be able to move the low brake fluid switch by hand.

If it turns out to be the park brake switch, what will suffice as a moulding remover to disengage the clips on the moulding panels? In any event, thanks for the info.
