Two days ago my '03 Silverado stopped recognizing when I pop the parking brake loose and now dings incessantly while I drive and the parking brake light on the dash flashes on and off.

I tried...

1.) Engaging and releasing the parking brake multiple times.
2.) Checked the brake fluid level (perfect level)
3.) Checked my owner's manual (not enough info in the manual)

Before I take this to an auto shop, is there anything I can do myself to potentially fix this issue? Is this a common problem with an easy solution. I am handy with electronics, so if it is a simple electric switch replacement I could probably do it myself. I will be swinging by an auto parts store on my way home today to look at the service manual for the truck to see if there is anything in there.

Thanks,

Richard
