Went out this AM and started the car. Everything was fine. The e brake light flashed on the dash. When I released the e brake arm the e brake light kept flashing. It has always gone off so... I got out of the car to see if the brake lights were flashing when the e brake was off. They were not. I then tried the turn signals, left and right and they both were working properly. Is there any way to disconnect the e brake flashing warning light on the dash? Also, where is the flasher located. The car is a 75 with a 3.2 in it. Any help will be greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Sounds like the switch under the handbrake lever isn't "opening" (by pushing the plunger down) when the lever is dropped.
My best guess is that the lever has bent slightly with age and use and the bracket that pushes down on the switch that is under the lever is out of alignment. Simple fix. Just bend it back. |

Thanks for the suggestions but not joy. The e brake arm is engaging the switch properly and the light still flashes. I put the p brake on and manually depressed the switch who no changes. The light is flashing and beeping when the car is on. The flashing light is no so much a problem as listening to the beeping! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
