I am futzing around with a warning light that is permanently on--not blinking. Parking brake switch seems to be working but will put a new one in shortly and then move down to MC to check it out. Prior responses to this query had many blinking light comments but my light has never blinked. Is this an issue or part of the problem?
Also best source for wiring diagram for 1971 914 and best manual for general knowledge? I hate haynes manual style. |

Link to the factory manual:
http://p914-6info.net/Manuals.htm Wiring diagrams on Jeff Bowlsby's website. Lots of good information on his website, not just wiring diagrams. Be sure to do some exploring: https://bowlsby.net/914/WiringHarnesses/#ReferenceLibrary In my experience the light blinks when the parking brake is on, and stays on when it is warning that there is a problem with the braking system. I have a late car though. Not sure why you are starting with the parking brake switch when what really matters is the state of the components of your car that actually stop it. Easy to look and see if your MC is leaking around the pedal cluster. Much easier than replacing the parking brake switch..... |
