85 fuel & ebrake light stuck on**PICS**
I was driving in a pretty big rain storm when my e-brake light & fuel light came on together. Now they won't go out unless I take they key out. Any Ideas?
Update: I disconnected the battery to see if somehow the lights might reset, but it did not work...I don't seem to have any dimming of the lights or really any other symtoms of a faulty alternator, but I am still not rulling it out. I am adding some pics also.

Well, I decided to flush the cooling system and change the coolant. While I was doing this I tried to start the truck and no joy. I pulled the alt. and it smelled burnt. I installed a new one and the lights on the dash went out and the truck started right up. No problems since.

May have started in '86:

At least there is a photo of where the low fuel indicator is, maybe a flashlight on the gauge face would show if there is anything there.

I'm pretty sure that the low fuel was part of the SR5 package, my 86 Pickup has it, but it also has map lights factory sunroof etc. the easiest way to tell if your truck has this option is to look at the fuel gauge sending unit on the tank. If it has three wires then there is a low fuel light, if it only has 2 wires then no low fuel light.
