Well when i was changing my brake pads i discovered my driverside caliper was shot. i replaced it and blead the brakes good and all that, but my brake light in the dash is still on and i cannot figure out how to get it to go off. the brakes work great i have never had better breaks so i have no clue.

Do you think the brake light is directly related to the front brakes? Does your truck have cruise control? If so, does it work? If not, unplug the "dummy light" on top of the brake resevoir cap. Mine went bad, and the light stayed on.

can someone please tell me how to get rid of this gay a$$ light

93tojo

no my truck does not have cruse and the light didnt come on until i changed the caliper so i guess it is the front brakes.

I have the same problem...still.

its a 93 pickup 4wd, i would normally look in the trouble shooting guide in the repair manual but i loaned it out and dont have it to reffer to.

dieselhound

Mine done the same thing. I filled the reservoir up and it didn't go out. I cleared the code. I pulled the positive and negative terminals off and touched them together. It cleared out and all is good.

dieselhound

Did that work??

93tojo

well how will i clear the code, wont i have to have a scanner or something? and i disconnected the battery and reconnected it and it still is there.

dieselhound

Yes, but you have to ground the positive side. I have tried to just disconnect the battery but, that did nothing. If you touch them it completely grounds the CPU and system. I know you have heard this before-just trust me. It will clear all codes. Only the hard codes will remain.

93tojo

awsome i will try it right now

93tojo

it still remains.

dieselhound

You touched them together?

93tojo

well i got it this time. YESSSSSS! thanks man i really appreciate it, and everybodies help on this it was driving me crazy.

dieselhound

What did you do?

93tojo

i pulled off both of them at first and touched them togather and it didnt do anything, so i pulled off the positive and touched it to the negative, reconnected the positive and pulled off the negative and touched it to the positive and i think that did it.

dieselhound

That cool. You got it

93tojo

now do you have any idea where i can get one of these? i think its like a vsv or pvp or something?

dieselhound

I really can't see it. Can you get a closer picture?

93tojo

yea i will try to get a better pic tomarrow. i can prolly get one at a junk yard or they might not be that much at a dealership so i will call and check. thanks man
