Nagging problems with Tacoma

Ok, I almost have this 300,000 mile Tacoma in tip top shape. Only a couple more nagging problems. My blower fan only works on the high setting. I suspect a resister somewhere is the problem. Anyone have this part number and write up on the fix?

Radio light is burned out, I can't see what station it is on after dark. Can this be fixed? It is not such a big deal, but nagging.

Also, my e-brake dash light will not stay off. I checked the system and really think it is problem with the little switch that turns the light off. Anyone else have this problem and a fix?

One more thing. I had to break in once when I had the keys locked inside and broke the rear slider latch. Where can I find a new one? Do I need to replace the entire glass?

re the ebrake light, it's either your brake fluid or the little switch. start the truck and then get under the dash and press the switch - if the light goes out, you know it's the mechanism that activates the switch (on my 94 pickup there's a little arm on the e-brake shaft that broke off, so the switch never got pressed). if the light doesn't go off, it's either a bad switch or bad connections at the switch or somewhere in the harness.

for the ebrake light, make sure the fluid is level, the brake system is bled and shut. Unplug the connector going to the master cylinder. Than plug it back in. This time get a screwdriver with the handle portion give the side a lil good tap a couple times. this should bring any air bubbles to go up to have a fully burped system.
