One problem related to brake light on has been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet K1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1997 chevy silverado K1500 z71. The anti-lock brake was preventing me from stopping at low speeds. They have recalled all the newer models to fix the defect, but not the older models. The only way to disable the anti-lock brake is to cut the anti-lock speed sensor for it. Anti-brake light comes on after. At least, I have brakes. I was involved in many accidents, fortunately, with no major injuries other than many bumper scratches and dents. To avoid hitting a car at stop, I had to run off the road intentionally many times. This truck could get people killed if they are not recalled.
