I have a 67 F-100. My E-Brake light that's located on the lower left hand corner of my dash is not working. I replaced the bulb and tried 3 different sockets and wires that I picked up from a junk yard this weekend. The light DOES turn on as I am installing it, but once installed it doesn't work at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

that light is the pressure differential switch light. when the light comes on that means you have a imbalanced brake system. and means you need to check your brakes for a failure. that light should only come on when starting the truck. unless the brake fluid has tripped the switch.
Ahh that makes sense! This whole time I was thinking it was a warning light that would alert me if my e-brake was depressed (like on the newer cars). Thanks a lot for your help now at least I know it works.
Thanks,

i go to thinking last night. one or two of the trucks have two lights in that position. one is a emergency brake warning light. the other is the brake failure light. . but almost none of the truck ever got that extra light or it was added on later. i have only een 1 picture of one truck that had it in it. i think it was flatbed ford or tough old ford who has the extra light in the truck.
I got home last night and checked the light. I went to turn the ignition and the light never turned on. But then again, when I turn the key, no lights turn on in my cluster. I wonder what the issue could be....
Thanks!

on a 67 the warning light wire goes to the ignition switch and then loops up and back to the ignition switch in a different location. http://www.fordification.com/tech/wirin ... ghts02.jpg
the dahs lights are controlled by the headlight switch. i would check the fuses and make sure the fuse has power all the way through it. and then check the headlight switch.
