Does anyone have any suggestions about getting the e-brake light to go off?? Is there a switch that's stuck?? The Brake isn't on... It's a '91 s-10 4x4/4.3L. Thanks!!

Re: e-brake light stuck on???

Does yours have a seperate parking brake light? The ones I've seen have parking/hydraulic malfunction on one light. Could there be a hydraulic problem?

The switch should be over the pedal.

pull the e break release and pull on on the peddle, if that doesn't work, put vice grips on the e break line (outside of frame on drivers side) and take a hammer and hit it towards the rear end, if that dont work, or better yet, chech the wire connections first, follow it all back to the switch, not sure of its location

if you apply the brake and the engine idle gets rough (in park) then you may have a bad vacuum booster

look at the master cylinder where it mounts to the vacuum booster on the bottom and see if there is wettness there, if so you have worn out seals in the master cylinder

if not one of these then you have to find the place where the leak is and repair it

the wire for the emergency brake is on the rear of the pedal. should be a single wire. unplug it see if the light goes out. if it does its the switch, if it does't, you have other problems
