2004 GMC Sierra 2500 HD
I have a problem I will just first explain what happen, My Friend ask me to see if i could tell where the squeaking sound was coming from on one of his rear wheels, So I took off the wheel and hub and sprayed brake cleaner on the brake caliper and brakes, I did not remove them. And just did the side he said the noise was coming from.
So then I test drove the car for around a mile and did not hear a sound after spraying cleaner on that one rear brake and caliper.
here is the Problem I live on a hill so I was afraid to just leave it setting without putting on the parking brake which is in the floor...
That is when the problem began, after driving it the next day up the road, I noticed the abs light and brake light was flickering off and on... then eventually both stayed on and now they will not go off.
I thought this has to be a parking brake switch issue since that was all I did it push in the parking brake.
I tested it today and it is only one ground wire going to the switch, so I hooked up my test light to the metal on the switch and the other end to a positive wire
when i press down on the parking brake the light on my test light comes on... when i release the parking brake after some adjustment of the switch so it will get good contact with the parking brake the light goes off when released.
But still the abs light and the parking brake light is on... Do you think the switch still could be bad? cause I do not know what else could of just happened just by merely pushing in the parking brake to keep it from rolling down hill.
Any Advice would sure be appreciated... Thank you
