I couldn't find any threads about the dash brake light staying off, only about them staying on. When I engage the E brake my dash indicator light doesn't turn on. I know it's not the bulb because it will come on when I turn the key in the ignition. I'm assuming it's the parking brake switch, I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue? If so is it usually just a quick fix by cleaning the switch connection or does it generally need to be replaced?

 

i would try cleaning or replacing the switch

 

I wouldn't even worry about it. Do you need a light to tell you the parking brake handle is poking you in the arm?

 

maybe he is ocd like me?

 

I'm OCD about stuff too but it's just a parking brake light.... If it had the pedal style like in pickups then I could understand it.

I've always been in the habit of setting the brake every time I park and releasing it every time I get in the car that I don't pay attention for a light anymore. My Chevy had the light stay on all the time.

I also got used to the VDC off light being on all the time when I drive so it doesn't bother me either.

I still have to have the Nissan emblem facing up while the car is running though. I cant drive if it's upside down.

 

lol this... It just bugs the crap out of me... Yes, I'm always in the habit of disengaging the e-brake but I just know it should be on. Guess I will just take apart the console and clean the connection.
