My brake light stays on all the time. When I have the e-brake on it is brighter but when I take it off, the light is a little dimmer but not by much. Any ideas?
Thanks

check the brake fluid level?
If you will slide your hand up the brake pedal you should find a small rubber cushion. This cushion presses on the brake light switch when the petal is released to turn them off. If all you feel is a hole then the rubber cushion has fallen out and needs to be replaced. You will have to engineer something to work in the meantime until you find the replacement part. I was able to make my own replacement. I hope this helps! BC

X2 had the same thing happen and the tail lights were brighter with the E-brake on.
dont think the 60's has a sensor on the cap, but if it did.........good thought, the 80 series does that
Check brake fluid level. It does have a sensor.
your correct.....it does.....brain fart on my part. I would agree, either low fluid or the sensor in the cap is going bad
Sorry, I thought you were talking about your rear brake lights not the one on the dash. I'll shut up now.

Like always, I thought I should search the forums for my answer after I had already posted my question...and wouldn't you know it...I found my answer!!!. Low brake fluid and there is a sensor... note to self, CHECK FORUMS BEFORE POSTING!!!

Now time to find out why it's low!
My 83 fj60 never came with the low brake fluid sensor or one on the portioning valve. Its was off for awhile but for awhile now it stays on.
My brake light in the dash does the same,thing. I will need to bookmark this to check it later.
