Check fuses, same thing happened to me. Pulled a trailer with bad wireing & it blew 2 fuses, can't remember which ones but replaced the fuses & never had another issue.

You could lift up the rear of the truck & try to spin the rear tires. If they spin freely then your parking brake ain't on. If it doesn't then you most likely have an issue! :doh:
Chances are your truck has a good ammount of rust with all the road salt like mine. I never even use parking brakes in MI because seems like every time I do they freeze or lock up on me. :mad:

Think maybe a wire is shorting out some where causing the light to go off? Are all of your other gauges working right?

I hear ya, I have that luck some times. PS pump is about a 1 day project if your taking your time & looking for tools. Get the puller & have at it.
