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. |

I have a '71 as well and the ebrake is not tied to the relay and just comes on solid like yours. |

Not sure why mine doesn't flash. |
