you might need to add some brake fluid.

ha ha ha, do you wipe your ass before you take a **** too? :looney:

i could never understand why someone would do the hard part first, instead of the easiest (and obvious) solution :brickknoc

yeah, i just posted this maybe 2-3 weeks ago... added a little fluid... light stopped coming on.

This may sound stupid,but in my 98 Tacoma the light comes on everytime I release the brake handle. There is a switch under the dash that the handle is supposed to deactivate. On the handle there is a tang that is supposed to push the switch in to turn off the light. Pust your handle and turn it to make sure the tang is making contact. Worth a look anyways.

:funnyup: a good dose of tang always does the trick ahaha. yeah so i topped the brake fluid today, my girl went to the gym and *drumroll* the light is off. so far so good she ll check again tomorrow cuz it also comes on when the truck is cold. thanx a sh*tload fellas:waytogo:

Same thing happened to me i just went under the dash and pulled apart the connector for the light, and the e-brake still works.

It's the fluid or most likely that the switch under the dash is not being deactivated (pushed in) when you e-brake is in the release position. It could possibly be from the worn out. I had this problem too.

PS: Try using the search forum.

DO NOT Disconnect the parking brake light... that is just PLAIN STUPID!

I had the same problem with my 99 taco.... I had the rear brakes cleaned and adjusted and the brake light went away.

Like others have said... check your brake fluid first.!
