emergancy brake light is on??

I know this usually means your altinator is bad right

Well today I tubbed my taco and relocated a few things,....like my Fuse box,...Battery,...and the charcoal canister........And to make a long story short, when I put everything back together and stared mmy truck the emergancy brake light was on and won't go off???

any Ideas....

I haven't had an e-brake on this truck for quite a while btw,...if that helps anything?

thanks guys

check your brake fluid. if it has a level sensor in the master cylinder, it could be stuck to.

my truck did it one time.it was the switch behind the e-brake wasn't engaged or like James said could be the brake fuild too.hope this helps

Ussually the brake and the battery light will come on if its an alternator problem.

^^^^That might be it,....I had to disconect that sensor when I was moving things around, I'll check that first thing tomarrow! Thanks James!

no prob, what would u do without me

yep prolly didnt hook it back up. or not all the way. we shall see.

could possibly be the wire for your e-brake switch. If it's grounding out your e-brake light will come on.

if the fluid is low it doesnt mean "just top it off" the fluid stays in the lines and as your brake pads/shoes wear down it uses more fluid to push the pads (possibly need new brake pads)
