69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I have the visibility group option, which includes the parking brake light. The light has 2 wires, one goes to the brake, the other a bullet connector. I can't for the life of me find the mate for the bullet. I feel like an idiot because the harness is original and has never been out of the car. The light worked ok, so I know the connection is there somewhere. If anybody has this option, please tell me where the bullet connector goes. I should probably add that I have the shop manual, assembly manual, and colorized wiring diagram CD and none of them show this option!

stangs-R-me 120 Report post Posted March 19, 2011 Don't mean to hi-jack, but has anyone found a source for the original flashing type bulb "GE# 256" or equiv. for this option ?? I've got one burned out and one good used one in my car now. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangs-R-me 120 Report post Posted March 19, 2011 Found the bulb ... think my problem was I was always searching for GE 256, and nothing would ever come up and no autoparts store could ever come up with a cross reference either. Googled "Automotive Bulb 256" and found three sources ... http://www.bulbtown.com/256_MINIATURE_BULB_BA9S_BASE_FLASHER_p/256.htm and http://www.cougarpartscatalog.com/sr256.html and http://bobgreiner.tripod.com/id38.htm Third source is a trip back to "lost-in space", got to check it out !! Others came up but no mention of it being a "flashing" bulb (nor did the filament look like the flashing type), so I'd not trust these sources.

ashleesmach1 28 Report post Posted March 21, 2011 outstanding I need that bulb too. Yahooo! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4reboy 10 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 is there a good source I can order this warning light from and install it (even though I don't have that option on my mach that I know of)? It seems 9 times out of 10 I drive with my parking brake on and don't notice it for awhile, and it makes me very angry every time. Luckily I don't set it often since I have an auto, but I definitely would more if I was confident I wouldn't leave it on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buening 63 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 They are a simple add-on and can be found on Ebay. Be prepared for about $100 for the complete setup though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buening 63 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 ...but it appears there aren't any on Ebay currently LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Like Buening said, they're available but you'll probably have to hunt around. You'll need the switch that mounts to the parking brake pedal, the harness that includes the bulb socket, and the bezel. To be correct, you'll also need the bus bar and accessory cable that maniac pictured above, although any switched 12V is probably ok. Googling "69 mustang parking brake warning light" turned up a few pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Googling "69 mustang parking brake warning light" turned up a few pieces. I know I'm posting to an old thread, (and I've posted this on another mustang forum) but the solution to this is easy. Buy the switch from west coast classic cougars (used) mount it to the brake mechanism (one screw) and run a single wire to pin #6 on the back of the connector on your instrument panel (for a non tach car). Your brake system light now doubles as a parking brake "on" light. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlife 814 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 They are a simple add-on and can be found on Ebay. Be prepared for about $100 for the complete setup though I have multiple copies of the parking brake harness, and I manufacture the fuse box buss bar and extension wire. Both can be had for about $35. PM me if you are still in need of these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlife 814 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Wow! I did an exhaustive survey of all of my stashes and did not have a single parking brake harness. I must have confused that with the seat belt warning harness. Sorry folks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
