I had the same problem. It turns out one of my spark plugs was loose. It eventualy popped all the way out. I thought I blew my engine. I tightened them up and it solved the problem. I think the E-brake light is also used as a warning light for certain engine codes.

i had the same things as well, for me it indicated really low brake pads, and also low brake fluid

from my experience with e brake light on a 323:
low level brake level
brake are worn
or the e-brake is a lil bit loosen, and when you take a bump the ebrake move a lil bit and the relay goes on and off

On my old 323 I was upset because my horn didnt work... and I didnt want to loose my time on it...

One day a cop pulled me over, my taillights werent working, the fuse was blown, I replaced the fuse and the horn started working

For the turn signal it's something electrical due to the relay(my father explained to me a while ago but don't remember exactly)

e-brake light on.

A variety of brake problems can make the light come on. Worn brakes, low fluid, pad dragging, etc. all show up as the e-brake light coming on. Instead of disconnecting the light you might want to do a thorough brake check.
