I seem to be having an issue with my breaks. The Interior check break light is on (as thought I have my parking break on) and wont seem to turn off even when taking the break on/off. The car also drives as though it is on as well (I'm getting very high RPMs and the car smells like some sort of burning after driving). The car seems to drive fine aside from that but I know this is a definate problem.
Any help I can get would be appriciated.

Check the back brake calipers. I had to have my son's '94 626 calipers replaced as the parking brake springs "wore out" and caused the brakes to apply when driving around. Had the same burning smell too. I guess this is a notorious problem with the back disk brakes on 626's, and the park brake springs in the calipers. Expect to pay about $160/caliper as well!
