parking brake beeping- ignition or brake switch

 

Got the dash brake light on with beeping and no DRL. It's intermittent- about every 3rd drive and only beeps in Drive. I'm thinking it's the ignition switch because when I jiggle the key the light goes out and beeping stops. Would a bad ignition switch cause a problem at the key area or is the whole ignition assembly at fault. Any ideas?

Are you sure it's not the parking brake switch?? Slightly lifting up on the parking brake would have the same effect of no DRLs and dash brake light on.
 

Thanks Carl. I played with the parking brake while light was on with no effect but when I jiggled the key the light went out and drl came back on. Now I've got to figure out if it's the ign switch or is the whole cylinder bad. Know of any test for this?

You'd think it'd have to be the switch then as that's the only part of those two with electrical contacts.? Also, it's a relatively inexpensive part to swap out.
