Brake Light - On with E-Brake Applied?

Hey, got my 1988 IROC. Whenever I engage the E-brake, the brake light doesn't come on - the bulb does work though. Just curious if the light should be on when the E-brake is applied for this model year. If so, what would cause it not to light? (again, the bulb DOES work - comes on when I first start it up)

Thanks!

Bad light socket? Broken trace on the Mylar circuit board on the back of the gauges? Other than that, maybe a bad connection at the harness connector, or the switch at the base of the brake lever.
