parking break light

I have a 1998 taco 3.4 liter and my parking break light goes on and off while im driving. It just started doing this recently. Is there anyway i can disconnect the light? anything helps. thank you!

 

You don't want to do that, it's there for a reason. Check your brake fluid level. Low fluid level means your brakes may need to be serviced as well, so check out your fluid first and then your brake pads and shoes.

 

Well providing that yours is like mine (emergency brake handle pulls out) It sounds like your detent button is sticking and/or shorting out . When you release the brake handle it slides down back under the dash & depresses a small push button switch that "shuts off " the brake release light, see pics my finger is right on it, I'd spray a little WD40 or some other shit & push on the button a few times to loosen things up, try this & hopefully it'll go away...... good luck & hope this helps ....

 

mine did the same thing. all i did was top of the brake fuild. you have to fill it up a little past the fuel line.

 

Check Ebrake pull (pull ebrake handle)- how many clicks do you get when pulling the handle?

 

thanks for all the posts! i added brake fluid and it fixed the problem.

 

My 05 is doing the same thing. What am I looking for on the shoes and pads? Serviced 25k ago and had 75% pad left. I have 105K on it now.

 

Do you have to use emergency brake all the time?
I never do--

 

Mine sticks a little when it's cold. The brake isn't engaged, just far out enough to turn the light on. Just try messing around with the button, I've had to do some tinkering with my clutch interlock too.
