brake light on dash

[505]

The brake light (red) on my 06 intermittently comes on, on the dash. No rhyme or reason to it. It has brake fluid in it. No leaks on any corner. It will be off, then after driving it will come on. Stop, shut it off, come back out, it may come on, it may be off. I could start it this morning and it might be on. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It's the low fluid level sensor for the master cylinder. I just replaced mine a month ago - it's a common 06 issue.

Noticed you're selling your truck. For whatever reason, I'm not allowed to post on that thread. You say you have an extra set of OEM rims. Sadly, three out of four of mine have got curb rash, and warped (thanks to previous owners). Would you be interested in selling them, separately?

Do you by chance have a part number? My 06 is starting the same thing

Here are the parts manuals you can check for the part number

Thanks .. appears to be the option .. O2 sensors are a pain to find for specific vehicles .. there are a ton of them but compatibillity even using factory part numbers sma pain .. fits this , upstream , downstream .. like all 4 are different or wait all compatible between them sed on different years and engine size ,, DAMN NUTS .. bank 2 position 1 ,, bank 1 position 2 etc.. confusing to say the least ....maybe I should put 1 in each exhaust tip and shoved 1 in eah bore of the throttle body and see if that works hahaha .. even deleteing them is an act of congress hahaha ..
my damn head is spinning , I found a set of 2 on amazon that says matches the part number for 24$ .. ill get those .. it says upstream /downstream like it doesnt matter where they go yet the part number is comparable to the upstreams ... Confused yet .. I SURE THE HECK AM HAHAHA ! Then to get free shipping I need to buy something else for a little over 10$ more hahaha ! Still looking for the downstreams on amazon to match the factory part number .. Rock auto is the next option to look into ..
