Aren't all cars like this? I've never seen one that had a seperate parking brake warning light. The only car I've driven where the two weren't combined was my '75 Westy, which had no parking brake warning light at all. (The parking brake warning system was, if you drove off with it set, your knuckles would hit the handle when you went for third gear.) _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
