Is the pedal resting against the switch? With age those pedals sometimes get sloppy. If you pull up on the parking brake pedal does the light go off?

Customer replied 1539 days and 2 hours ago.

With park brake off light still stays on no slop in pedal. With brake off level contact switch and break cicuit but light stays on engaged or not.

Customer replied 1539 days and 2 hours ago.

Then the wire leading to the light is shorted to ground and has to be traced. By the way, the regular brakes do work fine?

Customer replied 1539 days and 2 hours ago.

yes regular brakes work fine live in Va and state inspection was rejected becuse light remained on

Accepted Answer

Okay because that same light would have indicated brake problems. Trace that wire for a short to ground.
