Hi All,
Well, I am finally getting to the long list of things to do on the Sport Trac. Today was the water pump and fan clutch. So far things are ok, drove it around the block and no overheating problems. Haven't seen any leaks yet either. (all the wet stuff looks like it was from the replacement)
Anyway, the reason I posted was that the parking light on my dashboard has been on for about a week or two now. I am not sure what would cause it, but I put it in the Electrical category. I suspect something is shorting. As mentioned, my water pump has been leaking lately, I thought maybe some antifreeze got on the cable somehow. I have never dealt with the parking brake, but want to eventually get around to doing the front and rear brakes. It does not feel like the brake is applied at all, and I have stepped on it and released it a few times which didn't change the light at all.
Any ideas as to what would be causing this? I rarely use the brake, and it seems to shut off after the Trac is good and warmed up and been driving for 30 minutes or so.
Thanks,
Tommy
