    One thing that can happen is one of the filaments in the bulb is broken & welded itself to the other filament sending power back through the system.    Possibly a bad switch in the column but I'd check the bulb thing 1st, cheep & easy.

    Do you mean the Brake light indicator on the dash, right? If so, it means that your proportioning valve is too close to one side and has to be recentered. Tell us if this is the light that you mean.

    The indicator light above my speedo comes on as well as the indicator front right. The brake light on the dash dosent come on at all until the hand brake is applied. I haven't had a chance to check out the earthing fix yet. Will try today as I've got a day off and mopar Sunday is 2 sleeps away  :droolingbounce: :burnout:
