Check your alternator.... I know it may sound weird, but when my alternator when kaput, my brake light wouldn't go off... if I remember, somewhere, somehow in the wiring they are connected. But mines an 87 22RE, slightly different from yours.

If your brake fluid level is ok, replace the master cylinder cap. Inside the cap is a level sensor that makes the light come on when the level is low. I had this issue on my 87 4Runner, and replacing the cap made that go away.

My brake light was on. It turned out to be my master cylinder cap sensor. I can,t remember how much the dealer wanted but it must have been a lot because a just ended up disconnecting it. The light will come on when the emergency brake is pulled , so I figure why bother replacing it.

Bunch of know-it-all's up above think they got all the answers! Ha I'll show them!
Ok Ok I'll get this one guy's.
It is either your brake fluid is low, or the sensor in your cap is bad, or your e-brake switch is malfunctioning, or your altenator is going south, or your cable is sticking not disengaging under the truck.

hmmm
i think...i'm no expert, but it could be that we just had an equanox shift of the lateral galixy and the fibulator might be fibunotlating. in short. The brake fluid... oh and if your lights are also dimming the altinator. but i think someone already may have mentioned these things oh say 1 MILLION times already!!!

My brake lights stays on all the time...but ripping out the parking brake and the sensor on the MC might have something to do with it...
I'd try topping off your blinker fluid via your MC.

Mine does the same thing every once in awhile. However, mine does it because of the little spring/whatever it is behind the handle. it hit its and pushes the handle out slightly making the light come on. but, I'd check what the guys above said first.
