E brake switch

For some reason the E brake light quit working on both my 96 and 97. I figured it was just a bulb which didn't bother me, but whatever went wrong made it so my AIC doesn't work (has to have the E brake on to work). Any ideas? I tried connecting to a different ground, and no go. Everything else seems to work, just no E brake light. Thanks

Check the connector on top of the switch. On my truck the connector went bad I replaced the connector with an ordinary female spade plug. It worked never had any problems since.

Update, just incase anyone else has a problem like this. On the 96 I found corroded wires at the DRL bypass plug (day time running lights) found on the DS front of the rad support. About 10" of wire up under the wire loom was green and shot.

The 97 had a bad bulb Evidently the AIC was just acting up the day I tried it.
