Default HELP: Parking Brake not illuminated when Engaged

Searched around couldn't find a solid answer to my problem. Basically my Parking brake/ E-Brake/ Emergency Brake (whatever you want to call it) indicator on the dash does not turn on or illuminate even when the E-brake is engaged. Everything works fine no problems at all the the brakes or parking brake itself the indicator just doesnt turn on notifying my the E-brake is applied. The indicator still illuminates when you initially turn the key & put it in position 2. What do you guys think it could be? Disconnected wire/bad sensor or what? It's more of a nuisance more than anything.

Pull up the ebrake boot and look at the sensor. It's a small metal switch thing.
