Dash Brake Light

[Tim Kleppe]

I changed my back break pads today and now when the truck is running the dash break light stays on. When I did the back passanger side I couldn't get the caliper piston to go in until I disconnected the brake line from it. When I was all done I made sure I bled the line and caliper of any air. Don't know why the dash light would stay on, any clues.

Parking brake pushed slightly, OR you did not re fill the brake fluid high enough..

Our tracs have ABS. You should open the bleeder or take the brake line loose, to push the caliper back in. The old fluid can ruin the ABS module.

Thanks, ya I feel like a dumb ass now. After making this post I looked in my wiring diagram and saw the low level switch could do this. I didn't think it was that low. topped off and shazzam. Go figure eh.
