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)

Not had much luck resolving the e brake switch problem. Went to Pelican and they have a switch but it's similar but not guaranteed to have the correct fitment for a 914. I guess my question as this point, is there any way to disconnect the e brake switch without affecting anything else and stop the flashing light on the dash and the clicking that occurs when the e brake light flashes. My e brake works fine and I can easily do without the flashing light and the clicking noise.

Thanks

...Went to Pelican and they have a switch...

Unless you verified (tested) the switch, do not buy a new one. It had been mentioned before to pull the existing switch out by removing the securing screw. With the switch floating in space, if the warning light is still flashing, the switch is not the issue and can be re-installed.

What year is your car?

Look at the master cylinder and remove the wires connected to the switch. If the warning flasher stops, then you've found the issue. Some MC switches have a reset button that will stop the flashing.

Eliminate one variable at a time until you find the issue.
