Dash 'brake' Light Has Been On For Three Days How Do I Find Out Why?

I have checked and double checked my parking brake. Then made sure my brake pedal was all the way up. After that I checked the brake fluid reservior to see if it needed fluid. But it was full. What could be the reason why my brake light in the dash came on to begin with?
