Parking Brake Sensor?
Parking Brake Sensor? i was wondering if anyone had a picture or knew where to buy a parking brake sensor? the BRAKE light is on at all times and the car is failing inspection because of it. the car has no abs (sjm kit), but the light did not come on until a few months after the abs was deleted, so i doubt it is this. the master cylinder is also full of fluid, so im fairly certain its the sensor. is there any way to jump it?
It is more of a switch than a sensor and its located under the console. Remove the console and you can likely repair the switch with a pair of needle nose pliers. Just bend the contact so it is open when the lever is down.
do i need to remove the lower console too or just the upper? when i look all i see is what appears to be an airbag sensor, the wires for the PRND display and the console light, and an unused pigtail, presumably for a lockout switch for a 6 speed i guess.
The console is all one piece. Two screws up front in the bin and two screws in the rear in the compartment under the lid. Pop the shifter bezel off, disconnect the cable for the cig lighter and ash tray light. Maybe another connection or two then lift the console off.
