    Is the parking brake switch/sensor normally open or normally closed.
    Can I just put a jumper wire between the two terminals on the plug temporarily ?

    Doesn't matter if he is Ok with original deal,,, I bought a 2004 Kent for 2K; previous owner kept blowing head gasket, (single gasket for each head). I replaced and keep her under 1800 RPM and it has been 6 months now since I changed gasket. Had to change sync gear in tranny for splicer,, so all in all 10K. I use her for hauling manure on the weekends when I don' t work.

    so far have fixed lighting and found bad high pressure sensor on a/c. Ordered some parking brake sensors. All in all a cheap fix. Just my time (which isn't worth much obviously) lol
