What is the Parking Brake Warning Switch all about?

Your vehicle has two braking systems onboard – the primary braking system is responsible for slowing down the car when you press the brake pedal, and the secondary braking system is designed to activate when you engage the emergency brake. Depending on the make and model you drive, your emergency brake might be activated via a handle between the two front seats, or it could be activated with a pedal under the dash (to the left of the brake pedal).

In both instances, activating the pedal or handle engages the emergency brake. This prevents your car from rolling if you park on a hill, and it takes the load off your transmission at the same time. When you engage the emergency brake, it activates a switch, which turns on a light in the dash warning you that the e-brake is on.

Over time (though rare), either the parking brake warning light switch or the bulb in the dash can fail. While your emergency brake will still work, it’s tough to tell when it’s engaged or not, particularly if you have the pedal-activated system.

Keep in mind:

  • Your parking brake warning light switch is not inspected during any maintenance or service.
  • The switch can fail due to many reasons, including electrical failure, wiring problems and more.

How it's done:

  • The hood release handle and dash panels are removed for access. The parking brake warning switch is disconnected.
  • The parking brake is pushed down and the defective parking brake warning switch is unbolted from the bracket.
  • The new parking brake warning switch is installed, connected, and then the brake is released.
  • The dash panels and the hood release handle are reinstalled.
  • The vehicle parking brake switch is checked for proper operation.

Our recommendation:

Your emergency brake is an important safety component on your vehicle. While not having a notification won’t impede your driving, you may unintentionally drive with the e-brake engaged, which will quickly wear out the brake. Have the switch and/or light serviced by one of our expert mechanics as soon as possible.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Parking Brake Warning Switch?

  • Dash light does not turn on when engaging the emergency brake
  • Dash light comes on intermittently when engaging the emergency brake
  • The dash light stays on while parking brake is not engaged

How important is this service?

We recommend having the switch problem diagnosed as soon as possible. While it won’t endanger you on the road or prevent you from driving, there is the potential to cause damage to the emergency brake system by driving with the system on.

Nissan Armada V8-5.6L - Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement - Brentwood, California
This is my third time using Shaun. I will definitely use him again and I highly recommend him to others. Shaun was set up for an appointment I was told would last about 1.5 hours. However, the appointment lasted about 10 minutes because he was scheduled for a wrong service appointment. Nonetheless, I was charged by "your mechanic" for service not provided. I was able to resolve the issue with the wrong amount charged to my card because Shaun was honest about the service he provided. Shaun is very professional, he is on time, he knows his work very well and he does what he says. Shaun told me that he was going to enter a note in my account about the service he provided and cost. And he did exactly what he told me. Shaun noted a charge of $71.41 for my Armada windshield wipers blade replacement (driver side front, passenger side front & rear). My card was charged $133.41 by “your mechanic” for windshield wipers and service charge for window inspection. I requested window not winding down repair. I did not request window inspection since I already knew what the problem was prior to my request. Your mechanic charged me $62.00 more than the amount Shaun submitted. At the end, I got my $62.00 back but it took going through their supervisor. I must say “your mechanic” have a poor telephone customer service. I may not use their service if I ever have to deal with their phone customer service. It took three days and countless phone calls including waiting a long time on the phone to resolve my issue. I talked to more than ten different people on the phone. I was told to push button #1 on the phone to have someone call me back several times. I was disconnected on the phone with the first person that called me back and he never called after I got disconnected. I had to call back. The 2nd person I spoke to was not helpful, she didn’t listen and was argumentative. I asked to speak to their supervisor. I was told their supervisor was gone for the day and he will call me back the next day. To cut a long story short, the supervisor called on day #3, he was nice, he said he spoke to Shaun and issued me a refund for the $62.00. Overall, good experience with Shaun and the supervisor. With that said, I did not like the backbreaking fatiguing experience with their telephone customer service.
