Parking Break light is staying on????
 

Usually it means its time for new breaks? Right? I added more break fluid to the resevior but that did not put it out. the truck has been sitting allot and that dash light is causing a drain on the battery? Anyone have any suggestions? I do know the pads are ending their usable life but... They still have probubly 5-10K miles on them and I dont want to change them untill spring unless I absolutly have to.

well i cant see what pics were posted due to a firewall at work.. but

ive got a 90 k5 blazer, i know its not a hummer but its still gm and id be willing to bet have the same issues. anyway u might want to get it looked at. mine was doing that then it started blinking. 2 days later i lost my brakes. im being told it has to do with one of a few things
1. your fluid level is low. but u said its not
2. your anti lock system is having issues. the light will come on if the system is sensing a difference in pressure between the front and rear brakes. i was told to look for leaks in the calipers and wheel cyl.s mine was good there.
3. the last was the anitlock system was taking a crap.

might be some things to look into. i know its not from an h2 but i spent hours looking for this info. u would think it would be in the manual or a repair man. but i couldnt find any info on it:beerchug: good luck

Thanks for the heads up. After I topped off the fluid last night and a couple ignition cycles today the light went out.

well hopefully that fixed it. its a bad feeling to hit the brakes and the pedal goes to the floor with no resistance:raar:

If you were a real friend, you would have ripped that sheet out of the book and ship it to him.

:fdance: Back at ya big boy :D

I tried to talk him into buying a manual but he said "why, when I got you to post the pics for me" and he is right, I guess :D

:D

Re: Parking Break light is staying on????
 

Well the light is back on. So now I will be going through the motions on the manual and let you guys know my findings. Im really guessing I have a slow leak or the pads are done. I have 98K miles now on the original front pads. I will also adjust the parking break to see if that might help.

Ed can you post up the pix on how to adjust the parking break?

Thanks,
Eric

Hey thanks for the tip

Re: Parking Break light is staying on????
 

If you're looking for a set, I've got a set even better. Those are the Helms books (which are great books) but I've got a set (3 in a set) of FACTORY technician service manuals that I'll sell you for 125 bucks plus shipping.

Let me know if you're interested.
