Parking Brake Issue
Hey guys,
So I have an 08 Z06. My Corvette today seems to have an issue with its parking brake. I noticed that no matter how hard I pull up on the e-brake handle the "BRAKE" light never illuminates. However when i start the car it DOES turn on. The issue with this is that I cannot use my memory seats now because every time I try to use them my car says "set parking brake to recall seats."
Anyone had this issue? Can't seem to find the part number for the brake lever switch for the e-brake either.
PLEASE HELP!

Hey Howie,
yea the brake seems to be working. I mean I can feel resistance on the brake pull lever but just no brake light illumination on cluster. So the car thinks I am trying to adjust my seats without my e-brake on. By using my door mount memory buttons. Def not the buttons either because when pressed they beep and communicate with the DLC.

If you have set your seat to move backward when you exit the car the parking brake must be set. If I exit without the parking brake set the seat does not retreat (recall?) but if I set the parking brake the seat will retreat when I open the drivers door. Maybe that's what the message is trying to tell you. As for the brake light coming on, if the car is turned off should the brake lights come on at all?
