E-Brake Idiot Light won't go out....?

I did a auto to manual swap and for some weird reason my e-brake idiot light won't go out even when my brake handle is all the way down. I couldn't find the wire schematic that shows what the green wire and brown wire connected to on my auto shifter but now their not connected. Anybody have info?

Re: E-Brake Idiot Light won't go out....?

I believe the green wire is for the hatch release switch. You can connect it to the tan/white parking brake wire.

The light might be triggered by the parking brake switch (could be grounded), by the brake pressure switch (could be faulty) or the tan/white wire could be simply pinched somewhere and grounded accidentally.

See the diagram below.

If you need more schematics, you can find a lot of them (in great detail) here: http://www.austinthirdgen.org/module...howpage&pid=22

Hope this helps.
