e brake question

[the fox]

hello guys great site. last month I picked up a 91 Silverado ext cab and noticed the ebrake light is always on and when I grab the e brake by hand and shake it up and down my front lights flicker on and off. Anyone else have this prob too and how to fix it. thanks for any info

your e brake light being on is probably because your brakes need bleeding and it can be a pain sometimes. the lights flickering is to do with one of the relays or a wire that's loose under the dash. I don't see why the ebrake would cause your lights to flicker

The switch that turns that light on is against the firewall behind the e brake pedal. Check and make sure it's not loose and the pedal is returning all the way against the stop when you release the e brake.

Usually it can be adjusted to keep the light off. If the brake is working well and all the parts in the system are in good shape, a little tweaking should get your light to stay off.
