Parking Brake Light stays on

1997 International Amtran 3800.
I have had it setup on a piece of property for a couple of months, and started to drive it back home this morning. It has hydraulic brakes, and an Emergency brake that you pull up on to release. I released the Emergency Brake lever, the but the Park Brake light is still on. Any ideas? I drove it about a mile, and don't think i feel it on, but not sure how to tell

Thanks,
Dave

I was on a little bit of a hill, so went ahead and released the brake, and the bus rolled forward, so i figure it isn't locked up.
After being on the road for probably 45 minutes, the light eventually went off.

Just a sticky switch. Check the emergency brake mechanism all the way down and anything with wires is probably it. You can replace it or blast it with WD-40. That's my hunch

1992 International does the same thing. Found the switch at the lever is just sticky. Shot of lube and all fixed.
