I didn't even recall that there was a warning light on the parking brake until a recent thread. I've never seen it. I was unsure why, but now I know....
It doesn't work.

I've looked all thought the manuals that I have and I can't even find reference to the switch that should ground a lead to make the light show. I know I've never seen it and I have been into most of this coach.

The bulb tests good, I may try doing a bridge test tomorrow but right now I'm in a local park with three grandsons waiting for it to get dark enough for sparklers and then the real fireworks.

<< I didn't even recall that there was a warning light on >>

me too !!

In the video Robin posted a couple days ago, he shows the dash as he starts the coach. Two different lights come on!!

I have never seen those! And I just finished pulling the dash, checking the bulbs and cleaning contacts. My digipanel lights up and screams at me, but nada from the dash. More to look for.
