I posted in problems and queries and didnt really get a lot of help :/
my handbrake light is on and wont go off, it went off a while ago and keeps coming back, to try and solve the problem i have done a few things,
New Mintex pads all round 5 months ago
New rear caliper on the passenger side 3 months ago
System bled 3 months ago
New handbrake Sensor yesterday
Checked brake fluid Yesterday
The light is still on what else can it beee?

I would have said the switch on the handbrake not installed properly (as you've done everything else).
Simple check remove the switch and see if the light goes off.

If not, bridge the two terminals with wire. The light should go off? I think that's right with these spring loaded switches. Or not.
