My h/b light is staying on , I have checked fuses ,brake fluid level, checked switch, applied crc, adjusted ratchet, all with no luck. H/B works as it should and releases properly. Is this light indicative of some other problem, any ideas?

Yep, low vacuum in the booster circuits or a faulty pressure switch. Check all the lines branching from the pump on the back of the alternator for splits or detaching, a leak normally makes the brakes feel hard due to lack of boost.

Two thoughts I have 1)parkbrake switch is faulty. 2) Brake light float has stuck in the Master cylinder.

you checked the fluid level did you check the sensor on the brake fluid level is actuarly not faulty. usually you unplug the harness on brake fluid bowl and see if light goes out= a faulty switch on these extreemly old and easy systems.

Thanks, it can be tricky if you don't know the brake warning lamp also monitors the vacuum system. Just having a suck on the chocolate fish now.
