I have a 2003 with ABS.Whenever I spray wash the car or drive it in the rain the Ebrake light will come on and stay on until things dry out meaning on a sunny day or after the roads dry up.The brake fluid levels are correct and the ABS is working properly.I was told the ABS sensors plug in to the backs of the brakes.If this is correct I wander if water is getting in one of the sensors and causing a short or a wire is cracked.Any input would be appreciated.

Have you scrutinized the e-brake connection near the handbrake? It might simply be getting loose. Not sure why washing would cause THAT one though...

I'd definitely check the wiring on all 4 corners for the ABS sensors.

Found the problem.One of the wires in the wiring harness was chafed and bared coming from the brake fluid resevoir.Spliced it and taped it and no problems now.Don't know how it happened!
