Irrespective of the fluid level try disconnecting the test cable from the reservoir and see if it makes a difference (may need to short the pins, I can't remember why way the switch works).

Its a single earth wire to both hand brake and reservior, so if any of these wires are earthing somewhere it would bring the light on.
