RE: electrical issue - 5/6/2008 10:33:09 PM    rjsasaoka Posts: 44 Joined: 2/18/2008 Status: offline With the brake lights, did you recently do any brake work on your truck?  You may want to double check the drums, calipers and brake lines to see if there is a leak which may allow air into the lines.  About a month ago, the brake cylinder for the drum popped the boot, leaking brake fluid all over the place.  After getting that fixed, the brake light stays on. I tried to bleed it once but there must be a lot of air in the rear brake lines and will have it done at the next service for my truck.  As for the buzzer and seat belt indicator, you may want to double check the wire cluster inside the engine well, up against the front firewall and see if there is any water on there, if there is, then that maybe causing the those issues.  To resolve it, get 2-1 dielectric spray and spray it down. That would be my 2 cents... _____________________________ Russell '92 Silverado 1500 Ext Cab, 5.7L V8, 2WD Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash. - Garland Greene on Conair (in reply to drk_drgn) Post #: 5
