Parking brake light stays on

[Bus21]

Good afternoon all. I recently purchased a 1988 B600 and the parking brake light stays illuminated. The previous owner advised that a few brake lines had been replaced. Could that be a culprit for the light being on? The pedal is a little soft and I also noticed that the brake reservoir is only about a 1/4 way full. Could it be that the brakes are bled correctly? Any guidance would be great. Thanks

the brake fluid should be almost completely full.
and with it only at 1/4 level i would say you have a leak somewhere.
and if you dont then i would not bank on the system being bled properly

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure if it was filled up properly by the previous owner.

dont need to drive with a spongey pedal regardless.

No sir I agree. Want it to be right. Do you bleed the brakes on a bus the same as a car?

the park brake lite is not the one that senses the soft or low fluid. look for a mechanical switch on the linkage
