Unhappy Parking Brake Light Stays on - 07 Civic lx coupe

Adjusted the rear drum brakes
Light Stays on (brake lever fully disengaged)

Other suggestions?
PArking Brake Switch (under brake lever)?
Looked up an older service notice (03-078) but the master cylinder doesnt seem to have a sensor on it like the older ones did

Also; if I need to replace the switch.. other than honda were can I get (pepboys, autozone dont seem to sell).

Thanks in advance

There's usually a level switch on the master cylinder reservoir. Assuming there's enough brake fluid, try unplugging the switch as it could be stuck on. You can also unplug the parking brake handle switch to test if that's really what's making the light stay on.
