My 1997 Silverado K1500 passenger side rear brake cylinder broke on my drive home from work a few weeks ago. Lost all the brake fluid on the front reservoir in the master cylinder. Limbed the truck home only using my front brakes. I thought this would be an easy fix. Replaced both rear cylinders, bleed the brakes and we are done. Nope, brake warning light stayed on. Bleed the brakes again, had some air, but the brake warning light remain on. I then bench bleed the master cylinder, bleed the brakes once again, with some air, with no luck, brake warning light stayed on. The truck brakes are working better then ever. I bleed the brakes until no air were in the lines. Just can't figure why the warning light is still on. The ABS light is not on, the rear brake tail lights are working. I've checked to see any leaks from the master cylinder to the rear brakes, no leakage. What I have not checked is the front disc brakes to see if the pads need replacing. When I changed both front axles and ABS sensor with wheel hubs less then a year ago, pads looked great. Talking with a friend, they mentioned to change out the Brake Stop Light Lamp Switch that located above the brake pedal. I ordered the part and we'll see what happens. Can anyone relate to this problem that I'm having.
