Any fluid in the master cylinder? The light comes on when the pressure goes low on one side of the combination valve. This forces the warning switch over to one side creating a contact to ground. If you're not losing fluid anywhere. check the wiring to see if it's grounded out anywhere.

Could be a bad sensor in the master cylinder area
