Out running errands and when leaving I noticed the brake light blinking. I do use the parking brake a lot. so I pulled it on and off a couple times, no change. The brakes feel normal. Stopped for gas and checked the fluid reservoir, its at the proper level.
Then driving home, after a couple miles the light went off. (?) When I got home it was back on again. I am thinking maybe a wonky parking brake switch. But will check the switch on the master also Is the parking brake switch a Normal Open or Normal Closed? Anyone else have this happen ? Or know of something else I should check.... |

Stopped for gas and checked the fluid reservoir, its at the proper level. Same problem here! Saw that the brake light was not going on (or blinking) when parking brake was applied so look to see if the bulb was burnt, turned out that there was no bulb!! Swapped in a bulb, started the car and it blinked with the car running and with parking brake released. I guess I will go through a similar troubleshooting exercise. I will be replacing the speedo cable shortly so will take the opportunity to investigate any potential grounding of the parking brake switch and switch function. If nothing is found there, I will look at the Master cylinder. |
