Default Parking brake light on when excelerating

Just wondering if anyone else's does this. When I get on the gas hard, I notice my parking brake light comes on briefly. If I accelerate lightly (normal) it does not come on. I was thinking it may be a loss of oil pressure or something but the dipstick reads full. Any ideas? Is this common?

Yup, somebody.

Pull the cover away from the parking brake mount, next to your driver's seat. There's an electrical contact there, which I'm guessin' is either too close, and it's lightin' up under acceleration, OR, when you put the pedal down, you are puttin' pressure sideways from the seat onto the cover, and settin' the contact (cause it's too close again).

I don't know where else there's any switch that would light it up, under ANY circumstances...
