I've been trying to fix my brake warning light switch, it flashes all the time. Occasionally I could get it to go out by slamming the P-brake all the way down, but it would eventually turn back on again. So I figured it was the switch under the P-brake handle. I pulled the switch out and it doesn't seem to do anything, but it looks fine to me?? The wire that leads to it looks okay too.. Is there a way to test the switch?
I was thinking it could be the m/c reset button, but doesn't make sense if I could get it to turn off with the P-brake before.. |

I pulled out the multimeter and checked continuity to ground. With the wire disconnected, it goes up about 1/2 way. Would this mean the wire is bad and rule out the m/c switch? Can I run a new wire straight to under the dash where it hooks up on the gauge? From the P-brake lever, it looks like the wire goes into a hole right with one of the cables and then it disappears.. seems like it could of gotten pinched back there?
