Red Brake Warning Lamp

DESCRIPTION
The red BRAKE warning lamp is located in the instrument panel cluster and is used to indicate a low brake fluid condition or that the parking brake is applied. In addition, the brake warning lamp is turned on as a bulb check by the ignition switch every time the ignition switch is placed in the crank position.

OPERATION
The red BRAKE warning lamp is supplied a 12-volt ignition feed anytime the ignition switch is on. The bulb is then illuminated by completing the ground circuit either through the switch on the parking brake lever, the brake fluid level switch in the master cylinder reservoir, or the ignition switch when it is placed in the crank position.
