1957 Parking Brake Alarm Light

[Dan Wichlan]

Where can I find a wiring diagram for the 1957 Corvete parking brake alarm light? I trying to install this option on my 1957 Corvette. Thanks.

The Diagram is in the AIM I think. Do you have one? If not I can scan and send a PDF file. I think I have it.it.

There is some semblance of a wiring diagram in the Assy Instuction Manual (AIM). Doesn't seem to be too complicated.

BTW, I'm jealous! Been wanting one of those for years.

18-ga. tan wire feeds power from the accessory fuse block to the bulb socket, and another 18-ga. tan wire goes from the other side of the bulb socket to the flasher/switch unit on the park brake tube. The flasher is grounded through its clamp to the tube, and is actuated by a small pin pressed into a hole in the top of the actuator rod inside the tube.
