I don't have an ebrake switch, atleast where it should be.

there's your problem ....

the wire to the ebrake switch is a ground wire from the bulb that always has 12V on it. the switch grounds out when the brake is up (engaged) and therefore you see the warn light blink. when the lever is down the switch is supposed to cut the ground off.

if you don't have the switch, the brown ground wire is most likely dangeling somewhere behind your backpad, shortening out and causeing the light to be on all the time.

find the wire that is supposed to go to the switch and make sure it's not grounded anywhere ...
