Where is park brake switch?

Post by spandit »

My parkbrake/handbrake light doesn't come on when I park the Pinz - I've tested the bulb - where is the actual switch so I can check from there?

Where is my parkbrake switch

The parking brake switch is under the left rear corner of the truck and is operated by the swinging arm. Just follow the hand bake cable back and you'll find it.

Thanks, Nigel, that would explain why I couldn't find it under the dash! Electrics do need a bit of a sortout, good job I've got a mass of heatshrink and twinwall cable in stock!

Is there is a non-steyr part for the hand brake switch at the rear? I believe mine is shot.

Thanks! I found it after I posted :oops: . I am hoping EI has one because I want to order the ignition conversion, sans petronix.
