Blinking e-brake light on hard launch

[OB1]

This is weird. Ever since my 1G head swap, I've been getting a blinking e-brake light on hard launches or anytime the car bucks back and forth for whatever reason.

I checked brake fluid and its full.
E-brake light will come on with e-brake engagement as usuall.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be grounding this switch before I pull the bulb?

Thanks.

Might be your ebrake handle bouncing up on a hard launch, the light will come on long before the brake is even on the first click to lock it, might just be bouncing up and down when you launch, take a buddy for a launch and have him watch the handle so you can pay attention to what you are doing.

Tried that and the light still blinks. I actually held the e-brake handle down while on and off the throttle and the light still blinks.

I think it may be the switch connected to the e-brake handle that is loose.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

If you're sure there's fluid in the reservoir, then I'd look at the wire going to the low-fluid float-switch. Bet it's loose. Bet you yanked it by mistake while working on the engine.

Did you unscrew the lid and look? There's a rubber bellows inside the cap that'll ride on the surface of the fluid in the resevoir, and will appear to be the level of the fluid when looked at through the translucent resevoir body.
