Family,

My E-Brake light is contsantly flashing now (Big deal - check the switch). I dismantled the switch and used a voltmeter.

The volt meter registered only 4-5 volts as opposed to the required 12V to close and complete the circuit to shut off the flasher.

Other than that, everything else works fine.

Anyone know how this voltage could be so low?

I am thinking i have a weak + wire from the flasher as my ground is solid - but I don't know how to verify this low reading.

Anyone know, in the event I cannon get my Voltage problem rectified, how I can disable the E-Brake flashing light?

Thank you in advance,

Tony
