Chevrolet C/k 2500 owners have reported 2 problems related to brake light on (under the service brakes category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While testing the brakes and lights on a 7,000 lb gvw trailer the brake pedal went to the floor. Investigation showed brake fluid from behind the drivers seat and above the gas tank. The brake line over the gas tank rusted through and burst. Another 5 minutes I would have been traveling on mountain roads with no brakes and pulling a trailer. Vehicle was towed and repaired at my expense. Also a days work was lost because I was not able to travel 130 miles home for my companion to work the next day.

Complete failure of braking system. As I was leaving a parking lot (at about 5 mph) the brake pedal went to the floor as I applied the service brakes. There was no braking control. I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop as it rolled across the street by shifting the transmission into reverse and bumping it against the curb. There was no vehicle damage or occupant injury. No brake warning light showed either before the event or after the vehicle was stopped and I reapplied the brakes. The vehicle is currently in the repair shop and we are waiting to get the parts to repair. There is a pool of brake fluid located under the drivers door which is where the brake line has corroded and failed. I will need to replace all the brake lines as they are also corroded, as well as all the brake rotors and pads because of corrosion. I will retain the corroded parts for future inspection.
