Everytime i start the car i have no problems, but when i go to put the parking break down the car turns off and all the lights on the dash light up.

This is a 6 speed car.

Help please

sounds like a pinched wire, and a short in the emg brake. If you don't mess with the break at all she runs fine?? and doe not do it when you set it ( which still sounds right seeing it would stretch out on open and pinch on close) if these are all yes, then again I restate my statement.
Good luck,
Pete

Right now my car is parked in my garage, I start it with no problems at all and the parking break is currently engaged once i release the parking break my car shuts off and all the dash lights come on and i have to engaged the parking break again to start it.

Can you tell me which wire is the one that controls the emg break?

heh, your car is telling you something.

break <> brake

Someone somewhere has messed with your wiring. The emergency brake circuit is supposed to enable hatch release, and as I recall the DRL circuit. It is a black wire, just under the E-brake.

Zeta- I think you're right. The emergency brake is related to the DRL circuit.

Did someone hack in an alarm, remote start or stero? Zeta is right, the DRL &amp; BCM get input on this wire . Stange that it needs a ground off the p/b light switch to run.

When you release the parking brake you also turn on the headlights.

Does the car restart with the brake off, does it crank over at all?. Start by pulling the fuse for the headlights, see if you still have the problem.

sorry guys was on vacation and i just got back today.

So your saying look for a black wire underneath the console somewhere?

DaddySS: when the break is down i cannot restart the car.

when you put it all the way down it dies,have you tried in the middle, and all the way down to the last click but now all the way down.
trying to see if it is lights related or short ( I think it is a short either way BTW) like someone
had mentioned before about the head or DRL lights.

it only kills the car when the break is all the way down.

Under console, black wire.

Has someone hacked on your wiring?

It is not a *break*, that is what is wrong with your wiring. I guess I should be quiet and just go shopping for a pear of shoes.

under steering wheel console? Or under the console were the Shifter is?

My black wire was tapped into underneath the steering wheel, but that should effect anything because it wasnt cut.

I was installing the push button switch which works fine, so im wondering if that black wire i used is the same one the parking brake uses??

Under the console where the shifter is. Sounds like you may have found your problem.

thanks for the reply!

The wire i used was under the steering wheel but it still maybe the same wire.. All its used for i believe was ground.

I'd disconnect your wire under the steering wheel and see if it goes away....
