After I lowered my truck I seen that the emergency brake light stays on, I removed a leaf in the rear and bent the bracket that holds something brake relative a bit to remove it, I also did 3 inch blocks. Anyone have an idea of what this is I think It might be the brackets,but I would like to see If anyone else has had this problem.

yeah u either bent a bracket that holds the brake cable or its pinched between somthing. somthins gotta be tuging on it. i would follow the cable back to the rear end and see if u see anything abnormal.

There are two switches for that light.
One is on the parking brake handle assy.
The other is in the master cylinder reservoir.

If the handle is in all the way, and the reservoir is full, you have a wire grounded somewhere.

I have the same prob with my daily. I think its the switch that gets pressed when the e-brake handle is in the whole way. Gotta pull the dash to fix that though. Truck looks good BTW.

Well I think I fixed the problem I realized one of my wheel cylinders where leaking and my brake fluid was low, so I replaced them and added brake fluid no more emergency light nor air in lines.
