Handbrake light coming on?

[Steve]

My 1.6 has 2.0 brakes and recently under heavy braking or at least firm, the handbrake light comes on, but goes out once you stop!

It doesnt do it under light braking, only when there a lot of weight over the front wheels, I though it might be a bad earth but can't figure it out.

Anyone? Cheers.
