    First post here, this site is an amazing resource btw. I had leakage from the right rear axle seal into the drum, removed axle put on new seal.Cleaned up drum and break parts, re installed axle, put new shoes on. Made adjustment (what I thought was correct) to the parking break mechanism going into the rear of the shoe. Bled breaks. Jumped into truck and noticed parking break light on! took it around the block, played around with it and nothing. Any ideas?

    Your brake master cylinder is topped off? If it's low, the brake light will come on.

    Or the sensor button behind the brake handle is worn out due to too much slack on the enrage handle line. Just tighten it up a touch
