    brake light on

    the dummy light on my wife 86 CVW came on, and am not sure why.. new brake line, new rear breaks, break fluid flush (it was nasty) and that was 4500 miles ago. she says it stops fine, and i checked the fluid and it was still clean and full... what to check now?

    There should be a button under the Dash that is ingauaged when the e brake is pressed, That could be stuck. If anything unplug it an see what happens.

        unplug the wire at the prop valve down on the frame. If the light goes out, it may be a failed switch in the prop valve. If it doesn't go out, its the switch for the e-brake. Might want to try re-bleeding the brakes but those switches have been known to fail before.
