Could be ground under driverside seat for Brake. If not it could be bad Brake Module. No way to reset the service brake light without disconnecting battery but the light will illuminate if anything is still not correct with brake system.

It will be a wire that is bolted to the frame on the underside of the truck. You will gind this wire directly underneath the drivers seat on the bottom of the truck. Loosened the bolt, and clean the wire connection and frame with a wire brush or steel wool. Resecure the brake ground wire and bolt. Check your fluid reservoir, fill if not at full line. If this doesn't fix your problem, the service indicator is being caused by a faulty brake module.
