The truck was doing fine and then all of a sudden the parking break light came on the dash. There is plenty of brake fluid. We checked that and the emergency brake works too. So why would the light be on.

Brake

Chevrolet Silverado 2003  330000 miles
My van has got the brake too down but, as it is a vehicle with discs in each of the wheels, it does not accept any brake pads repair. What can it be?

There might be some air inside the brake lines. Or your brake pump might be failing.

Removing and replacing emc and starter fuses under the dash is a temporary fix as i don't frive it much due to initial stalling and then stall with system shutout, no power.

No running lights

Chevrolet Silverado 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 127000 miles
I recently had an issue with the Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block (see pic)
Truck would not start. Zero power. As a quick fix we jumped two of the terminals and that got it started. However, I have no running lights. Everything else works including headlights, brake light and blinkers. Because the Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block will not arrive for a few days and I need to drive in the evening, I was hoping a mechanic could tell me if there is a temp fix by maybe jumping the terminals while I wait for the part to arrive. I currently have a 30 Amp inline fuse fuse so the truck will run. Please help

Trailer Break controller does not engage.

Chevrolet Silverado 2019 Silverado 1500 LD LT dbl cab 4×4 90000 miles
My truck, although it had a hitch and all the trailer light connectors and such, both multi prong and 4 prong options, but it did not come equipped with a trailer Break Controller... I ordered a OEM original trailer break controller, and customized the panel to a perfect fit, there was a cable connection that is for the trailer brake controller behind the panel and plugged in a dummy hole, (since I didnt have that option equipped I only had a little change pouch in the panel... I cut it out, custom fit for the OEM controller, the connector for it via the cable that was already there in place (… Read complete

No trailer brake lights. Remote start works fine on vehicle as do brake, tail, head lights, & turn signals. Any suggestions???
