Now that the ebrake switch is not grounded (unless it has a short somewhere...), this is how the two wires going to the master cylinder (mc) switch act.

- Both wires connected together but not touching anything including the sensor: The warning light blinks just like if the hazards were on.

- Wires not touching each other or anything else: The warning light stays a dim solid and the flasher relay tries to buzz.

- Each wire separately connected to the mc sensor (the other touching nothing): The warning light stays a dim solid but no more buzzing by the relay flasher.

Any thoughts?

What are the colors of the two wires?
