Not to hijack, but while you are in there--I found the one wire that goes to the park brake light; what other wires do I need to mess with to fix it (the light worked a while back and now does not)?

You don't need to remove the handle to replace the slider. Just cut a slit in the slider where the handle would go and place the slider over the handle. Then place the slider into the cover and place it position. The slit is unnoticeable when it is installed in the guides.
Good luck,

Correct.
With ebrake handle down, the tang on the handle should close the ebrake warning switch and the light should go off. With the handle up, the switch opens and the tell-tale comes on.
If you have no tell-tale with the handle up, check the switch and the wire. If the tell-tale stays on with the handle down, move the switch up a bit until it makes good contact with the tang and closes.
