Hello,

Working on something else the other day and I noticed that when I put my E-Brake in the down position and it should stop blinking after start up, that it continues to blink, I took the switch out checked the connection and cleaned the connection, replaced and still blinks.
Do these switches go bad?
Where is the path of the wires from the switch to the left guage, I assume it runs under the seat brace to the console and up into the dash, I should check the connection to the guage from the switch at the E-Brake next?

Any ideas?

Thank you,

You need to reach the master cylinder. There are photos of the switch somewheres on 914world, try search.

It's easiest with the car off the ground, but I managed to reset mine while parked by turning the wheels to the right, reaching behind the left front wheel with a flashlight and finding the button. Expect to get your hands dirty/scraped using this method - the other risk is of accidentally pulling the wire off the spade connector that feeds the brake light flasher. Re-connecting that with the car on the ground is a severe PITA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
