Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation

RED BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR
The red BRAKE warning indicator lamp is located on the instrument panel in the instrument cluster.

The red BRAKE warning indicator lamp is supplied 12-volt ignition feed anytime the ignition switch is ON. The indicator lamp is then illuminated by completing the ground circuit either through the parking brake warning switch mounted on the parking brake lever, the brake fluid level switch mounted in the master cylinder reservoir or the ignition switch when in the CRANK position.
