Parking Brake light switch ??
« on: Wednesday,April 01, 2015, 01:52:54 PM »
I noticed on the wiring diagram for a late model TC Special that there is a parking brake micro switch. Does anyone know where that switch is located?  :confused:

It's located behind the dash on the brake-setting mechanism - the thing the umbrella handle comes out of.

There are two very small wire connections to the far part of the hand brake mechanism, so it is about when your shins are, halfway between your left knee and your left foot.
