Default Emergency light flashing

After finishing my 65 coupe all was well until about a week later when the emergency warning light started flashing.
Don't seem to be able to get it to stop even after wiggling the handle downward.
Recommendations on replacing switch, adjustment, etc.?

E-brake warning light switch is normally closed. The square head pin on the e-brake rod is supposed to open it when the brake is released. The answer is usually pretty obvious when you look up there by the brake pedal pivot.

Yes, the switch is on a sliding adjustable bracket. If you push the switch in with your finger and it still flashes you need a new one. Or just unplug it.....
