I think it is a brake warning light and from what I have read it subserves two functions. If still on after the engine starts either parking brake is on or you have brake failure. In my case parking brake is not on and brakes seem to work ok. It came on a few months ago and then went off and I thought might be a short so I have just not used the parking brake for months. Today it is on again and won't go off.
There is not much working space around the parking brake so I never did find the little button that is activated/deactivated for the parking brake. Anyone know what I am talking about or have any suggestions for trouble shooting the matter? TIA dll-----I forgot 1971 model |
