even if i put down the parking break, the parking break light on the guage cluster
is not turning off....
it goes off once in a while at anytime like during drive...
is it because of the sensor is not working properly???
or is there any other causes??
 
It wouldnt hurt to try and clean the connection for the sender. I would check your clutch/brake fluid When my clutch fluid was low my brake light would come on and off.
 
its most likely due to low brake or clutch fluid. check it, top it off, and then get your brakes checked. as the pads wear, the pistons stay further out dropping the fluid level. If its low enough to turn the light on the you are likely needing brake soon. or you have a leak.

no. Like everyone else has said, check your fluid. This same thing happend to me a couple months back. Light wouldn't turn off and I thought it was a problem with the connection. Fluid was just low. Go with the easiest fix first. You don't want to tear your center console all apart for that not to be the problem.
