Parking Brake / Indicator Light
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The parking brake switch connector contains electrical wires that may be reversed. As a result, the lamp will be activated whenever the ignition is turned on, even though the parking brake is not engaged. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems". The standard requires that the indicator lamp be activated upon application of the parking brake.
