Brake light faintly illuminated

[78C10BigTen]

So ive had this issue for about a year now. I thought it was because of leaking wheel cylinders, but after the rear swap i put on all new brakes, hardware and cylinders and it still happens. The brake light comes on faint not fully on but only at random times. Could anyone shed a little light on this? No pun intended.

My brake light is more hardcore than that. Mine's super bright. Lol...

Seriously, though, mine just came on this weekend during a test drive and I'm not sure wtf is causing it, either. So I'll be tuned in to this thread.

10-4. I was just making fun of your wimpy half-lit light.
Mine is definitely warning me about my imminent death.

Mine maybe and i just ignore it lol what fun is life without risk. LET ER' FLY!

Haha....

Well what could possibly be going wrong?
Brake fluid sensor going bad? Ebrake switch on its way out?
I can't imagine there's much to these, so its either one if those or a wiring issue, I'd think.

When i bled the brakes after the rear change i even snapped the prop valve to so...im not even sure it has a fluid sensor.

I didn't think they did, either.
Gotta be a fucky sensor somewhere, though.

Thats why i was thinking maybe the light thing in the prop valve

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I mean, my brakes were **** and mine was losing fluid from the front reservoir. Almost empty and no light.
Filed it up, now I have ****** brakes AND a brake light. Haha....
I might go down and investigate after dinner.

Sounds like you just need to apply some electrical tape to that spot on your gauge. Problem solved.
