[diesel_mercedes] Re: 240D parking brake light switch?

 


Yes , it has a yellowish light at the bottom edge of the dash binnacle .

The park brake switch should be near the top of the park brake ratchet assy.

Hard to reach . test by grounding the wire , if the lamp lights , the switch is prolly dirty & in need of cleaning .

I replaced the bulb with a known good one but it still doesn't work. I did have the key in the 'on' position. Next step is the brake switch. I looked under the dash near the pedal and didn't see anything that looked like proper switch. There's no mention of it in my Hanyes manual and I couldn't find anything on this group and through internet searches. The light DOES turn on when the p-brake is applied with this car, right?
