2018 Silverado Parking Brake light off after sitting

[frenchy237]

Hey Guys, 

Did a search everywhere and couldn't find any info on this. Here's my scenario:

Parked my 2018 Silverado LT (just picked it up last week with under 25k miles on it) at the airport. Put on the parking brake when I left. Got back a week later, remote started the truck, hopped in and drove home. Truck drove weird on the way home, and when I parked at home it smelled like burning brakes. Come to realize that the parking brake had been on the whole way home (20 miles), but for some reason the parking brake light was not on the dash when I started the truck. Is this because I remote started it / it had been sitting? Not sure why the parking brake light would magically not come on after sitting for 4 days. Also another weird note is that only the rear driver side brake smelled to be burning, not the pass side rear. Park brake was def on, it had been clicked down about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way, before I thought to check when I got home. Not sure what would have caused this, or how to test the light from now on. It light up when i press it in now, but im thinking maybe it had to do with the remote start

If you set your brake, don't forget to take it off.

In my cases, if I try and drive off with it on, it's noticeable. It drags pretty significantly. Did you notice it driving sluggish?

Light could have been a glitch with the remote start and the one side burning is just an adjustment issue, probably why you didn't feel the dragging too.

No I didn’t feel any pulling or sluggish behavior, probably because the brake shoes weren’t adjusted properly. I’m really thinking it had to do with the remote start. Maybe just no more remote starting after it’s been sitting for a while ...
