Parking break/e-Parking issue
I did both of my rear wheel bearing following BigfishAllDay thread (Rear Axle Seals: The Ultimate Information and Replacement Thread (3rd gen)
Everthing went well Thanks to BigfishAllDay for his How to.

The issue I'm having is my e-parking break light will not turn off even when the parking break is in the off position this happen when I put everything back as it was. Can someone tell me what trigger this e-parking break light in the display instrument and how to fix it.
I check the distance from the lock screw in this photo(drawing) and its in spec.
Both drum has a pretty tight fit I can move them in and out without hesitation. What else is there to check.

Have you tried disconnecting/reconnecting battery?

The "BRAKE" light on the dash is not used exclusively for the emergency brake, if there is an issue in the braking system at all that light comes on, it just so happens it is the same light used for the emergency brake.

Front break did not touch or removed.
Rear break removed only the axel, the break shoe are intact with the axel for pressing in with new bearing, I left the break shoe in with the axel for pressing bearing. Could something might have trigger the dash light to come on after the bearing press. I install both rear break as is when I removed to do the bearing.
Should I removed the drum and check the break again.

Did you check your brake fluid level? You have to bleed the brakes after this job so your brake fluid level will be low. Low level triggers the brake light.

Check your fluid level.

You probably still have air in the rear brake line. Bleed the brakes again. And check the Ebrake switch under the center console to make sure it closes when the handle is down.

Mine turns on alot in the winter, like when I first start the vehicle, or when I floor it or hit the brakes hard. I figure it has something to do with the fact that my brakes are so rusted in front that I can't bleed them. My fluid level is right at the full mark, so I know it isn't that.

I've got $10 on brake fluid level.

Make sure to post what the fix was once you've figured it out.

All right thanks to everyone for their suggestion I found the solution.
This is what I did.

1. I did the break bleeding right after everything put back on, (light still on dash)
2. Add break fluids to reservoir it was between the Minn n Max. (light still on dash)
3. unplug the wire that attach to the break reservoir and clean it with electronic cleaner and unplug the neg battery.
Bam! everything works no more light in dash took it out fore a test drive for about 15min and so far looking good.

Again Thanks for all that help.
Love this forum.
