Park Brake Warning Light

Another problem from the Richtersveld... my park brake warning light is permanently on.

I'm guessing just a faulty or dirty switch at the park brake, or that the brake fluid level sensor is faulty, because the brake fluid levels are fine

jip. remove the center console and clean/repair the switch at the bottom of the handbrake lever. The screw comes loose most of the time that just needs a good tightening again.

Mine has the same problem sometimes. I just have to open the break fluid holder lid and close it and the light goes off.

Just try add a few drops of break fluid before opening the center console. (I opened the console just to find nothing was wrong...)
