Your parking brake has a switch. when you push your pedal it activates the switch .if your pedal is slack it would let the switch turn on without you even touching the pedal.
battery light going on and off while your driving would usually indicate that your alternator is not charging properly. or loose battery cable.

2007 r=350 mercedes benz changed both batteries and now it won't shift out of park, could this be the ecm and if so will a replacement have to be reprogramed

Could be the shifter interlock? Not familiar with your vehicle, but am pretty sure that it has a shifter interlock that prevents the shifter from moving out of park without the brake being depressed.

Abs and hand brake light is on ... ?

It's not just hand break light , when the brake system master cylinder runs low on brake fluid , has a leak or the brake pads need to be replaced that light also comes on. And it will come on with the ABS light when a problem accrues. Problems can also happen when changing the battery with out hooking up an alternative power source > Battery Disconnect or Replacement Problems

2003 buick rendezvous jerking while driving and in park

With or without your foot on the brake pedal? Did you have the ECU scanned for codes? You can have diagnostic codes in the ECU without having a light.

Brake and battery light came on while driving.

The battery may not be charging, alternator, cable, or fuse problem.
The brake system may be low on brake fluid. The parking brake switch may be telling the light the parking brake is on.

Parking Brake Fault light is coming on? I reset the battery and it keeps coming on. It starts with the "apply parking brake" light and then when you take off, it goes to a parking brake fault? Please...

This is a common fault often caused by low battery voltage, before you start taking expensive actions with the park brake modules etc get your battery checked for 100% efficiency.
Hope this helps, good luck.

1995 Buick Park Ave. Brake light remains ON and chimes on driving

The problem is the car think the park brake is on (intermittently). I would check the park brake switch, perhaps it's loose, or perhaps the park brake is pushed down to the first "click" spot. Also check the wiring connection to the switch, and the wiring nearby. Good luck!
