E Brake/Directional Flasher Etc. Options

[frankiec@outrageous.net]

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)

Then you have a short to ground on the cable/circuit that operates the light & buzzer. this could simply be the switch under the handbrake shorting to ground. Take out the little screw holding the switch to the floor and lift the switch out a little into mid air, turn on ignition and see if it still buzzes. If it stops then the switch is at fault. If it still buzzes then you're going to need to check a few other things.

If it's not on the handbrake switch side or cable feeding it, there is a twin yellow/brown cable that runs to the seatbelt relay under the passenger seat. (upper most pin on relay closest to door) if you have a short to ground on this wire it will do the same.

Another check is pull the cable off the master cylinder switch, turn on ignition and see if the buzzer stops between holding the cable to ground and in air. (you may have a defective switch)
