The parking brake light on my 78 Corvette won't go out, I don't use the
parking brake and last week when I took the car out the parking brake light came on. Thanks for the help. Bill |

My first thought, since you said you DON'T use the P-brake is that there's a failure in the brake's pressure system and the light does double duty: parking brake engaged and hydraulic pressure warning. I don't know if this era of Corvette used such a dual warning, but it certainly would be something to check out. Read your owner's manual to check if this could be a possibility. (You could merely be low on brake fluid...) It could also be a stuck switch for the P-brake. Perhaps it was engaged and during storage the switch became stuck in the engaged position even after the brake was released.
