Hi Mark, I was hoping to hear from you! Happens both ways. Happens with ignition key on and happens when engine running. I just changed out the parking brake switch and now that part works correctly in park and in neutral. So,issue is that when ignition key on or engine running my brake light is on even when brake is off during Revers, Drive, 1 and 2, off during Park and Neutral. Works as expected now in park and neutral no brake light unless brake is pulled on. So, how to get it off during revers, drive, 1 and 2? Eric Caron 85 GL Auto
