03 Ram 1500 E-Brake light flashing

I parked my 03 Ram 1500 4 door with the emergency brake and it was fine. when i left and released the emergency brake, the E-Brake light that lets me know the E-Brake is on started flashing and will not stop. its a big red light in the center of the cluster. the truck did not come with an owners book so i cant look it up. i have tried using the E brake again and it still works fine, the trucks regular brakes work also... 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4.7l 4x4

Its possible the switch on the e/brake unit broke, take a flashlight and locate a single/double wire that goes to the e/brake assembly (this is the piece you depress with your left foot) and look to see if the wire is broken or the switch the wire goes to is broken.

Chime Fuse for the emergency brake?

All questions need 'year make model', and please don't use 'text speak' abbreviations as it causes confusion to the more mature experts.

Generic Answer is 'No'! The reason is that functions like that are a function of the Body Control Module. If you disconnect that, nothing works. Fix the problem, don't try and find a way around it. In the old days, there were sounders, but now the BCM puts chimes though the vehicle audio system even if the radio is switched off!

How can i release my emergency brake

Never heard of a parking brake automatically engaging. It does suffer with sticking brake cables. Are you sure the driver didn't step on the parking brake pedal? It is what I would have done and I have practiced it a number of times! You press the pedal a second time to release it. It is a known issue that the cable sticks, especially if the parking brake is never used.

How to change parking brakes on 2003 dodge ram

1 Determine which type of emergency brakes your Dodge Ram will need. Emergency brakes typically function by activating the regular braking system on the driving wheels. The emergency brakes for the Dodge Ram have used rear disc brakes since 2001.

2 Release the parking brake pedal completely and raise your vehicle. Remove the tire and wheel with a socket wrench and disconnect the brake caliper from the caliper adapter. Slide the rotor from the axle shaft.

3 Install the new brake rotor onto the axle shaft and complete the installation by reversing the removal steps.

4 Tighten the wheel mounting nuts in the proper sequence with a torque wrench until the nuts are torqued to 47.5 foot/pounds Repeat the tightening sequence to torque the nuts to 95 foot/pounds.

5 Apply and release the park brake pedal to seat and adjust the parking brake cables. Road test the vehicle to ensure the vehicle's brake system is functioning.

6 Place tool C-3919 or the equivalent over the park brake shoes and use the star wheel adjuster to lower the park brake shoes until the lining just touches the jaws on the tool.

you should hear a click from the solenoid when you apply the brakes. If your brake lights don't work, your shift lock release won't either. There is a bypass method for emergencies in your owner manual. Check fuse for brake lights. And switch on brake pedal

Emergency break cable broke on 2004 silverado

I had the same problem on my 2003. Open the driver door all the way. Get on your knees just outside the door. Follow the plastic tub that holds the parking brake release cable inside the truck. Start from the release lever and follow to the end of the tube. There will be a metal lever that the cable was attached to before it broke. You have to pull that lever with your hand to release the parking brake. Very Important!!!...Hold the parking brake activation pedal with your other hand when you release the brake. Let the pedal out slowly when you pull the metal release lever. The pedal will come back very fast and you could injure yourself if you are not careful. Good luck!

There is a release next to the parking brake pedal. You have to reach way under the dash but it has worked for me for the last month. I have the part to fix it but haven't had the time.
