My apologies if this has been asked and answered previously. I attempted to find the answer via the search function, but had not luck. Here is a schematic of the e-brake on a 2001:

Thanks. That was identified as the "Switch Assy-Parking Brake Lamp" on the parts list, so I was thinking it might just be a bulb. I'll climb under the dash and check it out when I get a chance.

Yep. That's the switch alright. I pushed and held it down with my finger with the e-brake engaged hoping the dash light would clear, but unfortunately it did not. I've also checked the fluid level in the reservoir and it's fine. The brakes themselves seem fine too. So, ruling out fluid level and a failure of the e-brake lever to fully depress the switch, why else would my brake light be on and stay on?

This that the only light no battery light ??

Hold on guys. Isn't a 2000-2001 Xterra have the pull up arm style e-brake while all the other have the push down foot e-brake? That diagram to me appears to be a foot push down e-brake which i though wasn't on a 2001 Nissan xterra? unless i am seeing this wrong.

No battery light. The alternator and battery are fine if that's were you were going with that question.

This is a diagram of the pull out arm style e-brake. I can see how you mistook it for the push down pedal style however.
