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.... |

Just to add a some anecdotal experience from a similar issue. The light plus click is usually the MC switch. I had to replace my switch to make that go away.
I had an additional issue where my cars parking brake relay would click non-stop. The light flashed as normal when the parking brake was engaged, but the clicking remained when disengaged. I checked all the grounds in the cabin and what I eventually discovered was a weak front turn signal bulb contact. The clicking was an indication of a poor ground or poor electrical contact "somewhere" - you just have to go on the easter egg hunt to find it. |
