Turned the switch to start the car and the parking brake warning light is flashing even with the brake off or with the switch pushed down with my finger. Is there anything else that would cause that light to flash besides the parking break or emergency flashers?

Thanks. I had just bled my brakes and forgot all about that reset. I was able to reach in with a long steel rod and reset the switch. Yes, I did a pre-flight. I found a warning light blinking and called someone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Press button on the brass electrical switch mounted on the mater cylinder.
Access it via the drivers side wheel well with a good light and a long rod. Rich |

If you turn the wheel all the way to the right, you don't even need the long rod. Just reach in with your hand.
