On both our coaches, the switch to activate the parking brake
warning light is mounted on the base of the parking-brake lever housing,
facing the wall and down at the bottom by the floor. Though the construction
on both switches was basically identical, the little plastic housing that
holds the metal contact on the '73 coach had broken apart. I was
able to epoxy it back together. There should also be a wire running
to the base to connect to the switch.

Karen,

Thank you so much. I actually looked at the lever, but I guess I didn't look hard enough and long enough. Knowing where to look will give me a real good reason to search the area.
