E-brake light!!! Help!
Ok so I redid all my brakes yesterday and it was my first time dealing with drum brakes. Well I got everything back together. Bled the brakes and all and then went for a test drive.. And the E brake light won't shut off?
I've took the drums back off and check and everything is working properly but the lights still not going off. I opened up the consul that houses the E brake and looked around and nothing.
If you guys could help thanks so much!!!

Did you take the entire console off? The switch that triggers that light is pretty much right beside the driver's seat belt. It's a single wire and grounds via the body.

You might also wanna consider your proportioning valve. The same thing pretty much happened to me and for some reason it was the valve. I replaced that and problem fixed

The red brake warning lamp will illuminate under
the following conditions:
† Self test at start-up.
† Parking brakes are applied.
† Leak in front/rear brake hydraulic circuit.
If the red light remains on after start-up, first verify
that the parking brakes are fully released. Then
check pedal action and fluid level. If the lamp on and
the brake pedal is low this indicates the pressure differential switch and valve have been actuated due to
a leak in the hydraulic system.
