Default Weird Park Light Issue?

Hey guys. So I changed my ABS Speed Sensor today because my speedo didnt work and my ABS/Park light were on. At first glance, all my dash lights went off. Great. But the park light is lit up extremely dim, almost like its a reflection off another bulb but nothing else is on. When you press the E-brake, the light comes on like normal but still after released: very dim light. I searched the forum and can't find anything similar. You guys have any ideas?

By park light are you referring to the parking brake warring light on the dash? If so, double check the switch on parking brake.

There is only one switch mounted by the pedal assembly. Sorry I don't have a photo of it.

Okay yeah sorry I know what you are talking about. When I take off the E brake the bright warning light goes out but there is still a very dim light.

Switch may not be completely opening. Dirt or something may still be passing slight current. Remove it and cleaning it may take care of it.
