Matt..
Where is the actual switch that reports to the "PARK BRAKE" Tell-Tale display?
I see two brake switches on the electrical diagram... One is the "Differential Brake Switch", which I assume is the combination valve. That lights a 'Brake' light on the instrument cluster. The other is an unlabeled switch that lights a section of the Tell Tale display.

Well, I know when I accidentally left my parking brake on while driving the coach from Texas, no lights lit. It was only after the brakes got hot and I glided through a red light with NO brakes that the
"Brake" light came on.
So, on mine at least, I think there is a different (currently non-working) light to indicate stupidity, er, I mean leaving the parking brake on.
Coach is currently in my driveway on blocks undergoing brake renewal.

There are actually two brake lights on the dash. One in the speedometer cluster is actuated by the switch on the side of the parking bracket by the floor. The other is in the warning light cluster. This is actuated by the Brake combination Switch which is located in the brake lines on the frame inside the driver’s side front wheel. There is a wire on the top that comes on if the spindle inside the switch moves either forward or back indicating a failure or low fluid either in the front or rear brakes.
