Parking Brake Light

[tadslc]

The parking brake light on my dash has stopped working. Figure it might be the switch.

Been looking around, have no idea where this switch is located.

IIRC mine is right on the parking brake assembly, at the top. I think the circuit is tied into the combination valve wiring too.

it should be on the parking brake lever/pedal mount.
at the top.
yes, the prop valve up front will illuminate the brake light constantly if it fails.

good luck

Thanks guys,

I thought I found it yesterday, looks like a slight b*tch to get to.

Is this switch available?

Here's a picture of a e brake pedal assembly not in a truck if that helps you. The switch is on the top right

You must be registered for see images attach

LOL. The worst part is how much other stuff will stop working after you snake your arm up thru the rats nest of wiring trying to reach it.

It may be the lamp if it's original. Although that's not easy to access either.

Once again, thanks.

Looks easy enough seeing the assembly all exposed.

I'll tell y'all what, getting old has its advantages. Crawling under the dash isn't one of them...

Wish me luck

I couldn't agree more.....

Just to close out my post.

Turns out it was my bulb that had quit working. Replaced and it now works as it should.

Thanks again for the help, I think I dodged a bullet...
