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....
