I would post this in the electrical forum but apparently nobody goes there because the three most recent posts from the last couple weeks have no replies.
Anywho...
My driveway has a slight incline, and whether I park the truck facing uphill or downhill, if the parking brake is set and I release it to drive away, the light stays on and it dings at me. If I set it and release it while still in the driveway the light will not go out, but if I pull out into the road and push it in just enough for it to click once and then release it, it will. It's not a huge deal but it's annoying.
I would just replace the switch but I can't find the actual one for this truck, only ones for older model Rangers & Explorers (they used a different plug apparently).
I took the switch out and the plunger moves freely and does not stick so why is it doing this?
