1995 What does it mean when the brake and battery indicator dash lights come on at the same time?
I have a 1996 and have found the following:
My brake light came on because the emergency brake cable binds and does not go all the way back to it's normal resting position. Upon looking under the truck, the pivot arm assy, (connects the single cable from the front to the two cables that go the rear drum brakes) was getting corroded and binding up. Try making sure the arm is all the way in the relaxed (read not engaging the rear brakes). This takes pressure off the cable and makes the light go out. Also check the spring that is part of the pivot arm as it might be getting weak/worn out.
You may only have a bad battery. My battery light came on when my alternator was about to die. All the lights started doing funny things (flashing and glowing dimly) then the truck finally died. Everything was OK when alternator was replaced.

AnswerI had these symptoms two weeks ago and the alternator stopped working two days later.Well guys, I too had that happen several times on my 1982 Toyota Truck. When the alternator's brushes wear out, they will trigger the parking brake and charge lights to come on...same thing if the water pump/alternator belt breaks. Now, if the alternator is delivering some electricity, but not the full 14.8 volts, it may cause the charge light to glow dimly when the engine is running, or it may not. If you have the lights coming on, it would be wise to use a battery charger to charge the battery while it is disconnected for alternator repairs (Take the battery out of the truck before doing this).
What else can I help you with?

Remove the electrical connector and the mounting screws to detach the old switch, then install the new switch in reverse order, ensuring it is properly aligned with the brake pedal.
