On my 85 FJ60 gas wagon the dash parking brake light is bright when the brake is set but when I release it the light stays on dimmly then when I rev it up it almost goes away with higher RPM. I recently moved the distributer for better idling and that is about the time the light showed up. I tried moving it back and it has no effect on the light. I also screwed the idle screw up a bit to help with the engine dieseling problem and the light is still on. I know this light is telling me something but cannot figure it out. Any thoughts? :confused:
 
The parking brake has a switch that turns the light off when you release it. Pull the boot on the parking brake and check the switch and make sure it is connected to the right plug and making contact to push on the switch. Also check your brake fluid level.
