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,

Thanks, to all for the great suggestions.

Monday is my day off and day to work on the car. Jacked front up removed front left wheel. PO changed the MC to 19mm, no reset button, so I simply unhooked the connection. Cycled the ignition on, light was blinking put E-Brake down, light quit blinking. Turned switch off, reconnected wire to MC, turned ignition switch, light began blinking, put E-Brake down, light quit blinking. I did check before I started and the E-Brake was still blinking in engaged and unengaged E-Brake positions so, I think that is it......I hope

Oh yeah...before I submitted this I just went out and actually started the car up with E-Brake engaged, light blinking, E-Brake disengaged....light quit blinking.
I'm going to take this as a mini victory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Thanks to all for the great information.
