Emergency Brake Light

It comes on when I start the truck but not when I engage the brake.

Any ideas?

Re: Emergency Brake Light

Switch stuck or broken on the e-brake pedal? First place I'd look.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.

Re: Emergency Brake Light

mine has two but the second in the cluster isn't hooked up
you should be able to ground the wire on the pedal and the valve to check

I don't have a pic but I think it's white wire with a slide on clip if I remember it

Re: Emergency Brake Light

You guys were right. It was a bit loose, it's working fine now.

Thanks a lot! That's why I love this site!
