Now I Never Have the Parking Brake Light...

Well, another chapter in the tale of the stupid ABS system...

I accidently fixed my ABS, and it does work now, but now I never have a parking brake light on... It blinks right when I turn the truck on, but it doesn't stay on if I don't take off the parking brake...
It that a sign of something bad?


Another thing that this truck does now that it hasn't before is that whenever I loose traction and go to hit the brakes shortly thereafter, I can feel the brake pedal pulse... Is this normal?

After I do a few donuts and go to stop the brake pedal is already pulsing... I guess that's what it's supposed to do?

Thank you guys...

Above where the cable secures to the footpedal lever is a switch. Most likely, the switch is either broken or misadjusted.

PS: Pulsing brake pedal is caused by what you called it: stupid ABS.
