Ok guys/gals...
Sun's going down and my wrenches are on my truck. 92 rodeo.
Brake light is on, I just adjusted the ebrake and it's nice and tight. When I press in the emergency brake switch, the light dims, but does not go out. There is not a switch on the resivoir, nonetheless, the fluid is at a fine level. There is a plug on something on the fenderwall (that distributes the fluid between front/back...I've just had too many to remember it's name), and when I unplug it, the light still stays on. It's a single wire connector on said cylinder.
Do I have ABS? I don't think so, but who knows. I just finally got the CEL to stay off, and I want this red annoyance fixed too. What switch am I missing, if there is one I've overlooked.
I bought the vehicle with a bad ebrake, but now that it's fixed, I want the light gone...I'm out of ideas.
Come on all with first gen Rodeo blood!
Tks again all...

the only thing that can cause the red brake light to come on is the switch or wiring for the e-brake switch
if you have abs you have an abs light if there is no switch at the resivoir there is no light to turn on
if you have abs you have an abs light if there is no switch at the resivoir there is no light to turn on

Check to see if you brake pads are low/worn.
